The Kingdom's Crown (Inheritance of Hunger Book 3)

The path to power never did run smooth ... Princess Bryony and her Chosen have been challenged, threatened, and attacked, but it's news from the capital that lands the hardest blow. Bryony's greatest ally is at risk, and if she loses her grandmother's support she may lose the crown as well. Returning to the capital introduces new enemies and dangers, as well as painful memories. Her grandmother is dying, her sister is feasting on flesh and wasting magic in the shadows, and the Queen is hiding from the ugly truths of Kimmery. With her patience at its end and her Chosen gathered close, it's time for Bryony to break the grip the council has on the kingdom, forge new alliances, and learn the depth of her own magic. The kingdom's crown will be hers, even if claiming it comes with painful sacrifice.
