Shaman-for-hire Eugenie Markham is the best at banishing entities trespassing in the mortal realm. But as the Thorn Land's queen, she's fast running out of ways to end the brutal war devastating her kingdom. Her only hope: the Iron Crown, a legendary object even the most powerful fear...
But who can she trust to help her? Fairy king Dorian has his own agenda. And Kiyo, her shape-shifter ex-boyfriend, has every reason to betray her.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Eugenie Markham, the new queen of the Thorn Land (as established in Storm Born and Thorn Queen), likes being the daughter of the Storm King and carrying his powers, but the responsibility is a pain. For example, her offspring is prophesied to conquer humanity. She has to visit the otherworld regularly while keeping the bills paid with her part-time shaman gig in the real world. Her ex-boyfriend, Kiyo, is back in her life, while hunky, kinky King Dorian has designs on her body and her womb. Oh, and war is raging between her land and the land of Queen Katrice. The fabled Iron Crown might end the war, but is Eugenie willing to gamble her life on questing for it? Eugenie's a pretty inept queen, but fans of the series will overlook that amid the kick-butt action and hot sex.
Customer Reviews
Awesome
The story line is well written and thought up with a suspenseful love triangle. You find yourself enthralled in the supernatural love story that is much more then a normal urban fantasy tale. As all Richelle Mead novels, this is extremely well written, witty and addictive. You won't want to stop reading!
Overall it's a good read
It's a good read however the whole love triangle got a bit tiresome and the middle of the book dragged on a bit, I kind of thought it would lead up to more. But it's well written and the story line is good
