NEW RELEASE

Title: The Kingless Crown: Kingdom of the White Sea Book 1

Author: Sarah M. Cradit

Release Date: October 13th 2020

Genre: Dark Fantasy

From the USA Today & International Bestselling author of the Saga of Crimson & Clover comes a gripping new epic fantasy world that will leave you breathless to the very last page.

A crown woven together by lies.
A kingdom with the power to unravel them.

Four Reaches. Four brides. Only a fortnight separates the young women from becoming reluctant queens of the usurper king, Eoghan Rhiagain.

Twenty years earlier, King Eoghan’s father cunningly devised marriages between the highborn sons and daughters of the oft-warring Reaches, sealing the unions before they could protest, shattering existing betrothals in place of forced alliances.

Now, Eoghan, the cruel boy king who stole his crown through murder, demands the eldest daughters of these unions. To accept is unfathomable. To refuse is treason.

The lords and ladies of the kingdom have no choice but to prepare their beloved daughters for the horrors ahead. But they’ll soon discover there are no longer any daughters left to present. All four have disappeared, painting the world with their rebellion.

Theirs is not the only rebellion. Across the kingdom, little fires light within. From the enigmatic sorcerers in the northern mountains, to the magi who both wield and regulate the kingdom’s magic, and beyond… to a place where two prisoners are not what they seem.

As the Reaches ready themselves to face the king, the kingdom hovers on the edge of chaos.

And there are many who recall, in candlelit secrecy, tales of a time before…

Captivating like gold. Mesmerizing like diamonds. A new fantasy to trail blazes like Sarah J Maas and Leigh Bardugo!

This is my first Sarah Cradit book and I was not prepared for how much this book consumed me. Phenomenal world building and fantastic characters make for an out of this world read! The story is both mesmerizing and entertaining. At different points, the story gave me the chills.

This is book will have you under its spell and will stay with you long after you’ve finished. I give this 5 fantastic stars!

*I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion*

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I hope you are all spending it with loved ones or even just enjoying the day.

~Synopsis~

Wrong choices…
Bad judgements…
Despair…
Stacey Paris is in a relationship with the arrogant Charles Montpellior. Charles is controlling, leaving Stacey no room to breathe. She needs to make some major changes in her life, but it isn’t until a familiar face from her past resurfaces that she is able to seriously re-evaluate the choices that she has made so far.

Jake Waters is mysterious, handsome, charming and intriguing. Stacey first met Jake six months ago, when they shared a passionate encounter together. Since then, she has tried to forget about how he made her feel. She is trying to concentrate on her relationship with Charles, but she is fighting a losing battle.

Jake’s reappearance will make Stacey feel emotions that she has never experienced before.

Is Jake as perfect as she thinks he is?
Stacey seems to think so.
So, why is it that she ends up fighting for her life?

Only one way to find out…………..

~My Review~

What a great read! I did not put this down once I started. Like holy hell! Stacey is tired of what her life has become. Her boyfriend Charles is a controlling jerk. She leaves him and starts to live her life. Jake comes into the picture and things start to look up….or do they? There’s more to Jake and Stacey could be in for more than she bargained for. 

The story and characters came together nicely. The flow and pacing of the book was good. Suspense along with some sexual heat make for one of those guilty pleasure reads. This book pairs well with wine. I was delighted to find out that there are more books! YES! I give this 5 stars.

I’m safe.

And so is my family. All because of the sacrifice Stone made to save us. I don’t know what has happened to Stone or Walker, but I believe in my heart that Stone will do everything he can to make sure Walker never comes near us again. I know he’s out there, and I cannot allow myself to think otherwise. He will come back to me, to us.

So until that happens, and knowing that, I need to work to make my family and myself whole again. Life can bring unexpected joys and sorrows, and it’s up to me to begin the healing process for us all. I need to be strong, and that’s what I plan to do.
I’m no longer a victim because Stone showed me that I was so much more.Life is worth living.

My name is Quinn, and as I awaken from my dark past, and violent present, I will start to truly live. The future has never been so bright.
