The Acceleration ceremony has ended with unexpected turns, and the battle for Fennbirn's crown enters its final phase. Each of the three sister queens must now confront her deepest fear. For them, death in combat against each other is not what terrifies them most. One sister will grapple with discovering her lethal magical gift. Another finds herself surrounded by enemies at every turn and must stay alert to survive their schemes. The third learns she possesses far greater power than she ever imagined possible. The sisters understand a brutal truth about their kingdom: in the fight for Fennbirn's throne, queens prove deadly only to one another. Each must decide how far she will go to claim the crown, knowing that victory means the destruction of her own blood. The bonds of sisterhood strain against the weight of ambition and the ancient laws that govern their realm.
