The Strongest are Breaking
The Queen's birth was supposed to bring peace, but it only caused animosity between her and her husband's Mistress.
Now, with the Àraid rising in the west, and enemies surrounding her in court, Cerynn is torn between her desire to strengthen her powers, and the maddening need to squash the woman distracting her husband from the war rising against them.
But conflict rules his mind, tormenting him with what must be done while filling him with longings from the past to confuse his loyalties.
The General's kingdom is shaking.
The Àraid King is rallying.
And no one is safe... from breaking.
