Happy Wednesday y'all! This week I'm eagerly waiting on The Cursed Queen's Daughter by , the follow up book to The Forest King's Daughter. I devoured the first book, loving the world of the and the war brewing between Sylvan and Dracu. While book one told the story of the youngest daughter and her cursed ring, this one tells the story of her sister Thea, who has trained to be First Huntsman of her father's armies and desperately wants to prove her worth. I liked Thea in the first book so I'm really excited to dive into her story.

Maas and Holly Black, <i>The Forest King's Daughter</i> is an enemies-to-forbidden-lovers romance from the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Frostblood</i>.</b><br/><br/>Once upon a time, among the bloodred trees of Thirstwood, a young forest princess became friends with a lonely boy from underground. He gifted her an amber ring, a worthless trinket—or so he thought—because no sooner did he slide it onto her finger than the queen of the underground and the forest king declared war.<br/><br/>Years later, Cassia is a crucial force in her father’s army, wielding her ring of light that can blind and disorient hundreds of enemies at a time. Then battle-hardened Zeru abducts her, planning to steal the ring back to fix his costly childhood mistake. Exhausted, terrified, and more than a little mistrusting, Cassia is forced to travel with Zeru to a place they both believed only existed in storybooks, one where their childhood friendship slowly rekindles into something much more. But it's only a matter of time before the war they’ve escaped comes for them, and a hidden threat to forest and underground folk alike grows in the shadows.<br/><br/>From the author of the Frostblood Saga comes the first book in an enchanting, adventure-filled fantasy series about the daughters of the powerful forest king, sure to leave readers breathless and desperate for more.<br/> <br/> <div style="text-align: center;"> <i><span style="font-size: small;">(Affiliate links included.)</span></i></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><b style="text-align: start;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/214175189-the-forest-king-s-daughter" target="_blank">Goodreads</a> | <a href="https://amzn.to/40G1W6e" target="_blank">Amazon</a></b><b style="text-align: start;"> | <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/4962/9780316395724" target="_blank">Bookshop</a></b><b> | <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forest-kings-daughter-elly-blake/1145683576?ean=9780316395724" target="_blank">B&amp;N</a></b></div> </div> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br/> <!--start LinkyTools script--> <script src="https://www.linkytools.com/basic_linky_include.aspx?id=314739" type="text/javascript"></script> <!--end LinkyTools script--> <br/> <i>Will you be reading this one?</i></div> </div> <div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <div> <div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br/></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div style="clear: both;"></div>
