The second novel in Abby Lane's Reign of Blood and Magic series "...is rich and complex, with numerous engaging protagonists that make the prose dynamic, immersive, and ideal for fans of epic fantasy." Self-Publishing Review
A Queen's quest for supremacy.
A Royal family threatened by vengeance.
A triangle of art conjures their destiny.
Seeking revenge, Queen Cynara signs a blood contract with the devil Daemonis to gain new powers and enable her to conjure the highest level of Solomonic magic. Using an invocation spell, she shadows three princesses' movements and tests her circle's potential in the king's forest, a forest the people say shelters evil. The action inters Ruby to a dark fate, binds Rose to the sea, and threatens Scarlett in a place that should earn peace, not further harm. Not even a god is safe from the queen's sorcery.
But power comes with a price and unbeknownst to Cynara, the devil has a secret strategy. When a blood moon eclipses the night, Cynara invokes her magic in the king's forest. Will her quest for supremacy prevail, and how might it challenge the current King Lowell, The Ebony Queen's own son?
