In this epic conclusion to The Girl King, two sisters war for a crown that was never meant to be theirs - though only one can wear it. As the late-Emperor' s first-born, Princess Lu knows the throne rightfully belongs to her. She also can' t forget her promise to shapeshifter Nok, the boy she loves, to win justice for his now powerless people. Yet even with an army at her side, Lu must face a major obstacle: the current Empress, her younger sister, Min. Princess Min used to live in Lu' s shadow. Now she wields an ancient magic, one she' s determined to use to forge her own path for the Empire, even if that means making enemies in court. But first, she must learn to control her power - before it consumes her . . . and the entire realm. Lu and Min are set for an epic confrontation, but the Empire faces a threat even greater than their rivalry. One that could cost them both the throne - and their lives.
