The Ebony Queen
In The Ebony Queen, the second novel in A Reign of Blood and Magic, the devil Daemonis schemes with Queen Cynara, enabling her to conjure the highest level of Solomonic magic. Using this mega-spell, she unleashes tempests against three princesses, casting a blanket of evil on her enemies. The ensuing storm ushers Ruby into the night, stifles Rose at sea, and threatens Scarlett in a home where she thought she’d be safe.
A lord and two guardians cannot protect their wards, and not even a god is safe from the queen’s sorcery. But power comes with a price, and unbeknownst to Cynara, the devil has a secret strategy. When a blood moon eclipses the night sky, Cynara invokes her magic in the king’s forest.
Will her quest for supremacy prevail? And how might an undeclared truth impact the current King Lowell, The Ebony Queen’s own son?
