"Corruption, uprisings, and a massive threat to elicromancy bring new queens Glisette and Kadri to arms in this sequel to Realm of Ruins."--

An uneasy peace reigns in Nissera now that Valory has vanquished the Moth King and settled into her rightful place as queen of Calgoran. New leaders Glisette and Kadri hope to usher the neighboring kingdoms into an era of healing and prosperity. But there's a fourth queen in charge: Ambrosine, banished overseas to Perispos. Driven by vanity, she vows to become the most powerful and beautiful ruler in the world, even if it means oppressing the mortal kingdom she is meant to protect. -- adapted from jacket
