Klappentext

'Six Savage Thrones beguiles with lush prose and blazes with feminine rage . . . The final twist left me on tenterhooks, desperate for the next book' Venetia Constantine, no 1 Sunday Times bestselling author of The Last Starborn Seer

Six Savage Thrones is the heart-stopping epic fantasy sequel to the instant Sunday Times bestseller Six Wild Crowns.

The kingdom of Elben is in turmoil. One of its magical palaces lies in ruins at the bottom of the ocean and the king is on the hunt for the traitor Queen Seymour. He will not stop until he brings her to her knees.

No one would ever suspect Queen Howard of treachery or spy craft, but she is no longer content to be the king's songbird. She will see to Henry's downfall. But there is a new gentleman at court, one who seems to know more about her true motives than he should - is he friend or foe?

Queen Cleves has already survived a war. She knows what she must do to protect herself, but now she finds herself fighting a longing for another queen that is so fierce it might swallow her up.

Amidst the turmoil, King Henry's sister Cecilia vies for the power she has been denied. But the queens will soon learn they must work together to break the bonds that tie them to the king. For Henry is delving deeper into strange old magics, ones that could birth a monster.
