The Crown of Gilded Bones

Poppy is the rightful heir to the crown of Atlantia, yet power has never been her dream. She finds herself at a crossroads: the laws demand that she ascend the throne, but she feels like a stranger in a land she barely knows. Moreover, not all Atlantians are ready to kneel before someone whose origins inspire doubt and fear.
While Casteel and their loyal allies try to unite the people around their new ruler, even darker clouds gather on the horizon. Queen Ileana of Solis — Poppy’s former mentor and blood relative — has no intention of releasing her “property.” She is preparing a devastating strike, backed by an army, ancient secrets, and a power capable of wiping Atlantia off the map. In this fight for survival, Poppy must find her own strength to protect her new home and prove that she is more than just a pawn in someone else’s game.
