Left for dead, but desperate to survive . . . they have one last chance to save their kingdom.

Prince Corrick is out of options. Held captive by the vicious Oren Crane, he’s desperate to reunite with Tessa, but will need to ally with the rebel leader Lochlan, who until now wished him dead. An unlikely but deadly pair, Corrick and Lochlan must plot their next moves carefully.

An island away, Tessa Cade is heartbroken and angry. Grieving Corrick, and unsure how to find a way back to Kandala, she doesn’t know who to trust. Until Rian—the man she trusts least—makes an offer: aid in a plot to finally oust Oren Crane and see what the future holds . . .

Meanwhile in Kandala, Harristan is dethroned and on the run. He’s struggling to unite the rebels in his fractured kingdom, but he finds support—and maybe more—in unexpected places.

Can Harristan be the king his people need? Can Corrick and Tessa find their way back to each other? As outside threats loom and the fires of revolution burn from within, time is running out to save their kingdom.

Though Armelle and Maxence are strangers and on opposite sides of the revolution, they find themselves united as fugitives of the new republic. Now they must find a way to trust each other as they search for a path to peace, and to freedom.

WRAP UP || ABRIL, MAYO, JUNIO

  

HOLA!! Espero que estén teniendo un bonito día. Hoy vengo con el wrap up de este segundo trimestre del año. Normalmente suelo traer mi resumen de lecturas mensual, pero durante estos últimos meses no he leído mucho, he estado inactiva en el blog y con las cosas de la Universidad he estado un poco liada con tanto, que cuando me puse a revisar goodreads me sorprendí al ver que había leído menos libros de lo que pensé. De todos modos, las pocas lecturas que tuve fueron gratificantes. 

TBR || JUNIO (Gracias a Goodreads)

Hola!! Espero estén teniendo un buen inicio de mes. Después de tanto tiempo vuelvo al blog porque ya necesitaba esta parte de mí y con las cosas que han estado pasando en mi vida tomarme un respiro, recordarme mis hobbies era importante. 

Decidí armar un TBR para junio y me gustó la idea de apoyarme en Goodreads para elegir los 5 libros que voy a leer este mes que salen de una lista que planteé con 12 libros. 

La lista con los 12 libros que llamaron mi atención para leer este mes fue la siguiente y varios de ellos han estado por meses en mi lista de "quiero leer".
