Verse of the Vanguard

The king is dead. The queen is a pretender. And the only person who knows both secrets is a girl from a village that no longer exists.Jora Lanseri survived assassination, imprisonment, and the kind of grief that breaks most people. Now she commands stone warriors, holds the highest title in the land—and answers to no one. That makes her powerful. It also makes her a target.Because the smuggling ring that caused the war isn't finished. The godheart the dying king whispered about is still out there. And someone, somewhere, knows exactly who Jora is—and what she can do.Some secrets are too dangerous to bury. Others are too dangerous to speak aloud.Verse of the Vanguard—for fans of epic fantasy with moral complexity, unforgettable heroines, and plots that never let you breathe.
