Sixteen-year-old Eva is a princess, born with the magick of blood and marrow--a dark and terrible magick that hasn't been seen for generations in the vibrant but fractured country of Myre. Its last known practitioner was Queen Raina, who toppled the native royalty and massacred thousands, including her own sister, eight generations ago, thus beginning the Rival Heir tradition. Living in Raina's long and dark shadow, Eva must now face her older sister, Isa, in a battle to the death if she hopes to ascend to the Ivory Throne--because in the Queendom of Myre only the strongest, most ruthless rulers survive.

Whoa, I loved this! Couldn't put it down, so I read it in one day. I just NEEDED to know what was happening.
Can't believe I waited this long to read it!
Addictive story set in a beautifully crafted world with great characters.
SO GOOD!

A beautiful world filled with legends and myths that affect the cultures of the place. Wonderful worldbuilding–favorite thing was the different stories of the original races and the queen. I thought the magic system was interesting. All in all, I just wanted more. More action, more romance, more descriptions, and definitely more character development.
Great final reveal. Loved it. Really interested to see where it goes next.
