Bestselling author Jennifer Estep returns to her Crown of Shards world with an all-new trilogy and a bold new heroine who protects her kingdom from magic, murder, and mayhem by moonlighting as a spy. Gemma Ripley has a reputation for being a pampered princess who is more interested in pretty gowns, sparkling jewelry, and other frivolous things than learning how to rule the kingdom of Andvari. But her carefully crafted persona is just an act to hide the fact that Gemma is a powerful mind magier--and a spy. Gemma is undercover, trying to figure out who is stealing large amounts of tearstone from one of the Ripley royal mines when she encounters Prince Leonidas Morricone of Morta--her mortal enemy. Gemma tries to steer clear of the handsome prince, but when she finds herself behind enemy lines, she reluctantly joins forces with Leo. Also coming to Gemma''s aid is Grimley, her beloved gargoyle. Despite the fact that Andvari and Morta are old, bitter enemies, a dangerous attraction sparks between Gemma and Leo. Further complicating matters is Leo''s murderous family, especially Queen Maeven Morricone, the mastermind behind the infamous Seven Spire massacre. The closer Gemma gets to the stolen tearstone, the more deadly plots she uncovers. Everyone is trying to capture the crown, but only one queen can sit on the throne ...

To get to the bottom of her enemy''s plot to somehow use magical tearstone arrows to conquer the kingdom of Andvari. Along with her beloved gargoyle, Grimley, and her fellow spy, Reiko Yamato, Gemma travels to Caldwell Castle to attend a trade Summit between the various kingdoms. Among the other royals in attendance is Queen Maeven Morricone of Morta and her son, Prince Leonidas--Gemma''s attractive, charming, and dangerous nemesis. When Maeven invokes an arcane tradition, Gemma once again finds herself thrown together with Leo and battling her growing feelings for the enemy prince. But when a series of deadly attacks shatters the Summit''s peaceful negotiations, it becomes clear to Gemma that someone wants to tear the royals down off their thrones--and that this cunning enemy just might succeed . .
