Heirs of the Broken Throne
King Ragna is devastatingly human and ruler of the five intelligent species: merfolk, faeries, frosters, witches, and the most hated: humans. Because of the king’s human blood, he was forced to produce hybrid heirs of the other species besides humans. But when he’s given months to live, he calls all of his heirs to the throne including an illegitimate heir, a human named Adella. The heirs are forced to compete in a game of blood and amoral compass. After each test, one heir is killed in order to prevent the power of the crown from consuming them. The winner must win every game and kill off their half siblings in order to sit on the throne with a large crack going down its middle. To fix it, the winner must kill the king. As the only human in the games, Adella must rely on her cunning abilities and her ambition. One thought remains in her mind: what would she do to win?
Archer has creating a haunting and captivating story filled with rich, dark narrative. Readers will not be disappointed.
