The Crown Divided

Quinn Rial's happily-ever-after is cracking like the crust of a freshly-baked loaf of bread.

With a Gift she barely understands and a string of kidnappings by the iniquitous king of Falerin, being at the center of the prophecy feels less like a happy ending and more like an impossible puzzle.

It's not until a group of rebels appears at the palace that she finds an unlikely spark of hope-but letting them in would mean dismantling everything Enorias was built on.

...

For the first time in her life, Liang is the one thing she always swore she wouldn't be: weak. With her Gift Siphoned during the royal competition, leaving a festering pit of anger in its wake, she's made a vow to get her magic back at any cost-including working with the insufferable Separatist Galen Vanbriar.

...

As unlikely allies, the group must uncover the rot at the core of both Enorias and Falerin and decide who deserves to hold the keys to power-and at what cost.
