At the end of the Thorn Queen, Eugenie had "taken over" the Thorn lands and must return to the Otherworld periodically to recharge herself and her lands. Kiyo has failed her and she dumped him for King Dorian of the Oak Lands. At the start of this book she is practically living with Dorian. They are extremely happy and yet fighting a war against Queen Katrice of the Rowan Lands.
Eugenie Markham is part Gentry (Fae) and part human and she systematically forgets that the Gentry only think about what is good for themselves. In the past both her lovers, Dorian and Kiyo have disappointed her with their own agendas. Unfortunately for Eugenie, this doesn't change in this installment. Dorian still only give her half of the information needed to make an informed decision and Kiyo is still hiding things from her.
I don't want to give anything away because there are many surprises in store for you. We have a quest to find the Iron Crown which has amazing powers; we have a king who loves Eugenie but protects himself and his interests above and beyond his lover; we have a fox shifter who loves Eugenie but he's another one with diabolical secrets; we have a queen who fears Eugenie and will do whatever necessary to keep her from power; we have her demon servant who hates her and provides the only real levity in the story; and we have her sister, Jasmine who is under lock and key since she a danger to humanity and Eugenie. Oh and lets not forget her roommate Jim, her admin assistant Lara, her step-father Roland, and the ghost of Deanna.
