The Spectra Undaunted

Castalia has never felt like home, but Keita Sage is supposed to be its queen-if she survives long enough. Keita and other remnants of the royal families have fought the usurping Stygians and their assassins for over a year, but the only way to be safe is to confront the Stygian leader Donovan. Poverty and war result from Donovan's bigotry, endangering everyone on the continent. Keita needs the support from the people who should have been hers, but they've been taught that she and other foreigners caused the last king's death. A secret new ally might give Keita the edge she needs, if she and her friends can cross the kingdom without being captured. Defeating Donovan will take every connection she can forge and every skill she's learned.
