At the king's birthday dinner, she sneaks off to start a new experiment along with her best friend, and while she is gone, the entire court has been poisoned. She has spent most of her time studying science and hanging out with her best friend. As Freya’s enemies close in and her loyalties are tested, she must decide if she is ready to rule and, if so, how far she is willing to go to keep the crown."įreya is a distant relative to the king, so it has never occurred to her that she could one day sit upon the throne. Not even her own father, who always wanted the best for her, but also wanted more power for himself. Not the king’s dashing and enigmatic illegitimate son.
Freya is determined to survive, and that means uncovering the murderers herself. The nobles don’t respect her, her councillors want to control her, and with the mystery of who killed the king still unsolved, Freya knows that a single mistake could cost her the kingdom – and her life. Freya may have escaped the massacre, but she is far from safe. However, when an extravagant banquet turns deadly and the king and those closest to him are poisoned, Freya suddenly finds herself on the throne. Twenty third in line to the throne, she never dreamed of a life in the palace, and would much rather research in her laboratory than participate in the intrigues of court. Goodreads says, " The Girl of Fire and Thorns meets The Queen of the Tearling in this thrilling fantasy standalone about one girl’s unexpected rise to power.
