Going to battle against a Titan in the war of all wars, one woman
is making history in an epic novel of ancient Greece by Emily R.
King, author of the Hundredth Queen series. May Gaea be with you...
Althea Lambros is growing into her power, wrestling with a
burdensome heritage, and unwilling to concede to Cronus, the
redoubtable God of Gods. For that, Cronus is making good on his
promise. Calling upon the elder Titans, he's bringing down his
wrath on the world. Suffering quakes, tempests, fire, and hail,
mortals are paying in blood for the war of the gods. With the help
of her friend Theo, Althea takes cover with her sisters, Bronte and
Cleora. But they can't hide forever. To mastermind the downfall of
the evil king, Althea must recruit allies of her own before the
aggrieved mortals surrender the sisters to Cronus in exchange for
peace. Is Althea formidable enough to win? It'll take the help of
her sisters and those willing to fight for the cause of the just.
As the gods pick sides, Althea must divide heaven and earth to
defeat the enemy and write the true history of the war to end all
wars.
In the explosive third volume of The Hundredth Queen Series, the
queen of fire faces off against a demon of ice. Despite the odds,
Kalinda has survived it all: Marriage to a tyrant. Tournaments to
the death. The forbidden power to rule fire. The icy touch of a
demon. That same demon now disguises itself as Rajah Tarek,
Kalinda's late husband and a man who has never stopped haunting
her. Upon taking control of the palace and the army, the demon
brands Kalinda and her companions as traitors to the empire. They
flee across the sea, seeking haven in the Southern Isles. In
Lestari, Kalinda's powers are not condemned, as they are in her
land. Now free to use them to protect those she loves, Kalinda soon
realizes that the demon has tainted her with a cold poison,
rendering her fire uncontrollable. But the lack of control may be
just what she needs to send the demon back to the darkest depths of
the Void. To take back the empire, Kalinda will ally with those she
distrusts-and risk losing those most loyal to her-to defeat the
demon and bring peace to a divided nation.
In the final volume of The Hundredth Queen Series, Kalinda will
risk everything to save the man she loves. Kalinda has brought
peace to the Tarachand Empire, at least for now. Bhutas no longer
need to hide their gifts. The last of the rebels have been
banished. And Prince Ashwin is set to take over as rajah. But for
Kalinda, this all came at a great loss. Her childhood home. Her
best friend. The love of her life. Deven is still trapped in the
Void, although he is able to find his way to Kalinda each night. He
has been lucky so far-mortals are not meant to last in the Void for
long, and Deven has lasted longer than most. But when he doesn't
visit her one night, Kalinda knows that his luck has run out. She
will do whatever it takes to save the man she loves, even if it
means convincing a god to guide her through the Void. Freeing a
mortal from the Void is nearly impossible, but Kalinda has never
let those odds stop her before...
From Emily R. King, author of the Hundredth Queen series, comes an
epic novel of ancient Greece, Titans and treachery, and the women
who dare to rise up against the tyranny of the Golden Age. My
mother told me that men would speak about the Golden Age as a time
of peace and happiness for all... However, the women of our age
would tell a very different story... Cronus, God of Gods, whose
inheritance is the world. Among his possessions: women, imprisoned
and fated to serve. The strong-minded Althea Lambros controls her
own fate and lives to honor her dying mother's plea to protect her
two sisters at all costs. Althea's journey toward crushing the
tyranny has begun. It is a destiny foretold by the Fates. And she
is following their visions. On the southern isle of Crete, hidden
among mortal women who have fled the Titans, is the Boy God, son of
Cronus and believed dead. He shares Althea's destiny to vanquish
the Almighty-fate willing. Because Cronus has caught wind of the
plot. He's amassing his own forces against Althea's righteous
rebellion and all those who will no longer surrender or run. There
will be war. If she's to survive to write their history, the
indomitable Althea must soar higher than any god.
