At long last, Brienna is a mistress of knowledge and is beginning to settle into her role as the daughter of Davin MacQuinn, a disgraced lord who returned to Maevana to reclaim his house. Though she’d just survived a revolution, one that will finally return a queen to the throne, she faces yet another challenge: proving herself trustworthy to the MacQuinns. But as Queen Isolde Kavanagh’s closest confidant, she’ll have to balance serving her father’s house as well as her country. And then there’s Cartier, a wholly separate but desirable factor in her new life.

Aodhan Morgane, formerly known as Cartier Évariste, is adjusting to the stark contrast between his pre-rebellion life in Valenia as a master of knowledge and his current one as the lord of a fallen house. During the castle’s restoration, he discovers a young boy named Tomas, whose past and parentage are a complete mystery. So when Cartier’s former pupil Brienna is as taken with Tomas as he is, he lets his mind wander — what if he doesn’t have to raise him or his house alone?

As the Lannon trial swiftly approaches, Brienna and Cartier must put their love aside and stay focused on the most vital task at hand — forging alliances, executing justice and ensuring that no man, woman or child halts the queen’s coronation. But resistance is rumbling in the old regime’s supporters, who are desperate to find a weakness in the rebels’ forces. And what makes one more vulnerable than deep-seated love?

In this follow-up to The Queen’s Rising, Rebecca Ross weaves political intrigue, complicated relationships and love to create a story that readers won’t be able to put down.

2.5 (Razoável)

Depois da decepção que foi The Queen's Rising, eu já sabia que não deveria esperar muito da sequência, mas mesmo assim foi decepcionante não me deparar com nenhum desenvolvimento significativo nos personagens que são chatos, na historia, que é previsível, ou na ambientação, que é "underwhelming".
Não odiei, mas também não gostei o suficiente para recomendar. Há muitas séries leves por aí com abordagens parecidas que são infinitamente melhores, como as trilogias A Rebelde do Deserto, de Alwyn Hamilton, A Curse so Dark and Lonely, de Brigid Kemmerer e a duologia Grace and Fury, de Tracy Banghart.
