Book description
The third book in the critically acclaimed Seven Realms epic fantasy
series from Cinda Williams Chima
Han Alister thought he had already lost everyone he loved. But when he
finds his friend Rebecca Morley near death in the Spirit Mountains, Han
knows that nothing matters more than saving her. The costs of his
efforts are steep, but nothing can prepare him for what he soon
discovers: the beautiful, mysterious girl he knew as Rebecca is none
other than Raisa ana'Marianna, heir to the Queendom of the Fells. Han is
hurt and betrayed. He knows he has no future with a blueblood. And, as
far as he's concerned, the princess's family killed his own mother and
sister. But if Han is to fulfill his end of an old bargain, he must do
everything in his power to see Raisa crowned queen.
Meanwhile, some people will stop at nothing to prevent Raisa from
ascending. With each attempt on her life, she wonders how long it will
be before her enemies succeed. Her heart tells her that the
thief-turned-wizard Han Alister can be trusted. She wants to believe
it-he's saved her life more than once. But with danger coming at her
from every direction, Raisa can only rely on her wits and her iron-hard
will to survive-and even that might not be enough.
The Gray Wolf Throne is an epic tale of fierce loyalty, unbearable
sacrifice, and the heartless hand of fate. Praise for The Exiled Queen:
'Vividly drawn and lusciously executed, the Seven Realms series
continues to grow in breadth and detail with this sequel to The Demon
King. The story lines are intricately plotted and the characters fully
realized, even as questions about truth, loyalty, and power are
explored.' VOYA
'Duty, love, expedience and revenge fuel the labyrinthine intrigues of
this second entry in an epic fantasy series…Seven Realms fans will pore
over every detail and beg impatiently for the sequel. Riveting.' Kirkus
Praise for The Demon King:
'The Demon King is a page-turner for any reader, regardless of age.'
Robin Hobb
'Dozens of characters, complex and distinct in personality, are placed
with jewel-like precision, set off by dark glints of villainy… [readers]
will clamor for the sequel.' Publishers Weekly
Praise for Cinda Williams Chima:
'Centuries of wizardly scheming, slavery and slaughter reap apocalyptic
fallout in this final volume of Chima's trilogy… Heroes and villains
alike are swayed by achingly human motivations into disastrous choices
with devastating consequences…The resolution is-like the end of
childhood itself-tentatively hopeful, if not triumphant. A superlative
accomplishment.' Kirkus. Cinda Williams Chima began writing romance
novels in middle school, which were frequently confiscated by her
English teacher. A graduate of the University of Akron and Case Western
Reserve University, Cinda has been a freelance writer and columnist for
the Plain Dealer and other publications. Cinda has a marginal knowledge
of popular culture, but she has never forgotten what it was like to be a
teen. She lives in Ohio with her husband and two sons.
