Quinn Elmsworth: The Seer Ablaze (The Viridian Curse #1), Gebunden

Klappentext

This sweeping, slow-burn sapphic fantasy is perfect for fans of the tragic romance of Ava Reid's Fable for the End of the World and the lyrical prose of Nina Varela's Crier's War.

A false seer. A reluctant queen. A mysterious healer.

False prophecies spill from Isolde's lips, as demanded by her grandparents. They exploit her unique Bond with the divine blue-green phoenix for their own gain. After the high king perishes, Isolde seizes the opportunity to control her own voice by raising the unwilling Princess Arturia to the throne with a false prophecy and an enchanted sword.

When the Griffin Kingdom starts waging war, Arturia shuts herself away from the public. But if Arturia fails as a queen, then Isolde will lose her power and possibly her life. She spins lie after lie to try to hold everything together at court while forging a friendship with a mysterious healer named Tristan. Facing indifferent gods, ruthless politics, and heartbreaking betrayal, Isolde must decide if she is willing to sacrifice her hard-won agency for the queen who snuck into her heart.
