In this action-packed sequel to Royal Bastards, Tilla uncovers a sinister conspiracy to take down the kingdom from within. Tilla, bastard of House Kent, has it made. Safe from her murderous father in the dazzling capital of Lightspire, she lives a life of luxury under the protection of the Volaris King, alongside her boyfriend, Zell, and best friend, Princess Lyriana. So why isn’t she happy? … why isn’t she happy? Maybe it’s the whispers and stares that follow her wherever she goes, as the daughter of the traitor waging war against Lightspire. Or maybe it’s the memories of her beloved…

“One of those rare books that had me laughing and crying within a paragraph” (Cinda Williams Chima): The illegitimate daughter of a lord, Tilla hangs with the rest of the castle’s misfits — until she uncovers a sinister plot to overthrow the kingdom. “A solid, refreshingly diverse fantasy” (Booklist).
