Synopsis

Bestselling author Jennifer Estep returns to her Crown of
Shards world with an all-new trilogy and a bold new heroine who protects her
kingdom from magic, murder, and mayhem by moonlighting as a spy. Gemma Ripley has a reputation for being a pampered princess
who is more interested in pretty gowns, sparkling jewelry, and other frivolous
things than learning how to rule the kingdom of Andvari. But her carefully
crafted persona is just an act to hide the fact that Gemma is a powerful mind
magier—and a spy. 
Gemma is undercover, trying to figure out who is stealing
large amounts of tearstone from one of the Ripley royal mines when she
encounters Prince Leonidas Morricone of Morta—her mortal enemy. Gemma tries to
steer clear of the handsome prince, but when she finds herself behind enemy
lines, she reluctantly joins forces with Leo. Also coming to Gemma’s aid is
Grimley, her beloved gargoyle.
Despite the fact that Andvari and Morta are old, bitter
enemies, a dangerous attraction sparks between Gemma and Leo. Further
complicating matters is Leo’s murderous family, especially Queen Maeven
Morricone, the mastermind behind the infamous Seven Spire massacre.
The closer Gemma gets to the stolen tearstone, the more deadly
plots she uncovers. Everyone is trying to capture the crown, but only one queen
can sit on the throne …
