A #1 Indie Next Pick and LibraryReads Selection
Magic, adventure, mystery, and romance combine in this epic debut in which a young princess must reclaim her dead mother’s throne, learn to be a ruler—and defeat the Red Queen, a powerful and malevolent sorceress determined to destroy her.
On her nineteenth birthday, Princess Kelsea Raleigh Glynn, raised in exile, sets out on a perilous journey back to the castle of her birth to ascend her rightful throne. Plain and serious, a girl who loves books and learning, Kelsea bears little resemblance to her mother, the vain and frivolous Queen Elyssa. But though she may be inexperienced and sheltered, Kelsea is not defenseless: Around her neck hangs the Tearling sapphire, a jewel of immense magical power; and accompanying her is the Queen’s Guard, a cadre of brave knights led by the enigmatic and dedicated Lazarus. Kelsea will need them all to survive a cabal of enemies who will use every weapon—from crimson-caped assassins to the darkest blood magic—to prevent her from wearing the crown.
Despite her royal blood, Kelsea feels like nothing so much as an insecure girl, a child called upon to lead a people and a kingdom about which she knows almost nothing. But what she discovers in the capital will change everything, confronting her with horrors she never imagined. An act of singular daring will throw Kelsea’s kingdom into tumult, unleashing the vengeance of the tyrannical ruler of neighboring Mortmesne: the Red Queen, a sorceress possessed of the darkest magic. Now Kelsea will begin to discover whom among the servants, aristocracy, and her own guard she can trust.
But the quest to save her kingdom and meet her destiny has only just begun—a wondrous journey of self-discovery and a trial by fire that will make her a legend . . . if she can survive.
This book will be a beautifully designed package with illustrated endpapers, a map of the Tearling, and a ribbon marker.
What a performance!

Update: July 2022 *spoilers*
I audiobooked the first of this series back in 2019 and gave it 5 stars…looking back now that I’ve re-read this first book in paper format, I’m like whaaaaaaat, 5 stars how? This is a solid 3 stars.
I don’t get how this soon-to-be-Queen is trained daily from the time she was an infant to inherit her mother’s crown but at the age of 19, as planned for to the exact day, she goes off to do just that and face off with assassins with no knowledge of how to protect herself beyond using a knife, isn’t in peak survival body conditioning, isn’t good on a horse, has a huge gap in her knowledge about her kingdom, it’s history and her mother’s reign because her tutors swore an oath not to tell her. So the people meant to prepare her for her life’s supposed purpose missed some of the most essential things she’d need in order to do the job in the first place……..seems a little sketch and ridiculous to me.
Other than that general silliness and a handful of other confusing bits that made literally no practical sense…the world is interesting and the characters capture my attention. She’s a little silly sometimes, but the MC Kelsea is mostly a badass. I’ll be continuing the series to see if things improve 😅
Enjoyed the book, but where’s the 2nd?
