The war is over. The politics have just begun. And in Aethelgard, the tongue is often deadlier than the blade.Nara and Kavin have done the impossible: they've conquered their sector of Aethelgard. Now, Nara is crowned the "e;Violet Queen,"e; draped in velvet purple and noir shadows. But she quickly learns that ruling an empire is far harder than fighting for one.In a palace where it never stops raining, every corridor hides an assassin, and every smile masks a "e;Royal Court"e; betrayal.While Nara fights for her crown, Kavin fights for his soul. No longer just a soldier, he is torn between his new role as Royal Consort and the lethal "e;Weapon"e; he was born to be.But when a rival faction strikes with a deadly poison, the time for politics is over. To find the antidote, Kavin must descend into the under-city on a blood-soaked rampage, proving to the world—and to his Queen—that beneath the velvet, he is still the monster she loves.The reign has begun. Long live the Queen.
