In the royal court of Bellona, a person's worth is equated with the magic they can wield. Lady Everleigh's ability to determine scents is definitely not considered a major power, plus, as 17th in line for the throne, Evie is mere ornament to the court. Then tragedy strikes: Evie's cousin, the crown princess Vasilia, assassinates her mother the queen, along with the rest of the royal family, and seizes the throne. Evie escapes the massacre owing to her secret immunity to magic. Forced into hiding to survive, she joins a traveling gladiator troupe that uses its members' warrior talents to entertain. Evie is becoming stronger, but as Vasilia's plans include forcing Bellona into war, Evie knows she must take matters into her own hands—and kill the queen.
VERDICT This epic fantasy launch brings all of the action, magic, and smart cast of characters whom fans have come to expect from Estep ("Elemental Assassin" series). Readers of Chloe Neill, Kim Harrison, and Ilona Andrews will welcome this bright new heroine.
