A Crown This Cold and Heavy – by Stacia Stark
Book 3 in the Kingdom of Lies Series

The unimaginable has happened — and none of our lives will ever be the same.

Surrounded by enemies, I’m farther from my crown than ever... and closer to death.

Betrayed in ways we never saw coming, I’ll do whatever it takes to find my way back to Lorian — before his fury consumes the continent.

Alliances are forged and shattered, enemies unite, and Regner’s spiders creep ever closer. The fate of humans, fae, and hybrids hangs in the balance, and only one chance remains to stop a god rising to enslave us all.

Meanwhile, the human king believes I’m trapped here, waiting to die and for Lorian’s rescue.

But Regner hasn’t realized one thing yet: I’m the one who should make him afraid.
