But as they grow to realize how important they are to each other, their nations continue to head perilously toward all out war. Gemma and Leo are deeply connected, and their similar magic binds them together even more thoroughly. Queen Maeven and, worse, her eldest son Milo, are out to bring Advari to its knees, despite Gemma’s growing relationship with Maeven’s younger son, Leonidas. The new series follows Gemma Ripley, princess and spy, as she navigates the perilous grounds between her nation of Andvari and the enemy nation of Morta. Release Date: March 7 from Harper Voyagerįor fans of Jennifer Estep’s epic fantasy world, which she first introduced with the 2018 launch of her “Crown of Shards” series, one of the most anticipated series enders this year was the finale of the Gargoyle Queen trilogy.
