The Mountains of Sorrow
by Iseult MurphyToday Rowan is on a one-way mission to kill the queen.
Rowan is driven by revenge.
She has convinced the other rebels that she wants to assassinate the ruthless queen to end her cruel acts against her subjects, but for Rowan, this suicide mission is personal.
As one of the last remaining wood witches, will her earth magic be strong enough to stop the queen’s star magic?
Argento wants to end the killing.
Desperate to save the country he loves, the former palace guard will do anything to stop the queen, even if he has to work with the enemy.
When the rebels want to use the queen’s star magic against her, Argento has to ask – how far is too far?
United by their common enemy, Rowan and Argento, believer and skeptic, learn that the queen is not the only danger to the kingdom, and if their plan succeeds, they could still fail the country they seek to protect.
