Hal was once a knight, carefree and joyous, sworn to protect her future queen Banna Mora. But after a rebellion led by her own mother, Caleda, Hal is now the prince of Lionis, heir to the throne. The pressure of her crown and bloody memories of war plague her, as well as a need to shape her own destiny, no matter the cost.
Lady Hotspur, known as the Wolf of Aremoria for her temper and warcraft, never expected to be more than a weapon. She certainly never expected to fall in love with the fiery Hal or be blindsided by an angry Queen’s promise to remake the whole world in her own image—a plan Hotspur knows will lead to tragedy.
Banna Mora kept her life, but not her throne. Fleeing to Innis Lear to heal her heart and plot revenge, the stars and roots of Innis Lear will teach her that the only way to survive a burning world is to learn to breathe fire.
These three women, together or apart, are the ones who have the power to bring the once-powerful Aremoria back to life—or destroy it forever.
I know this is the continuation of the Innis Lear books and I haven’t read those, but I don’t care, this looks amazing and I want to check it out. Apparently it’s inspired by Shakespeare’s Henry IV? Sign me up. Lady Hotspur is expected January 7th, 2020 from Tor.
I haven’t read The Queens of Innis Lear yet either, but I love the sound of this novel! I love me a lady knight. 😀
Yes, lady knights! I feel like I want more of them. 🙂
Oh cool, I didn’t realize it was connected to Innis Lear, I wonder if it’s a standalone?
I’m not sure, but it looks pretty cool. 😀
This looks awesome! Haha, look at me, I still haven’t read her Queens of Innis Lear and already I am drooling over a new shiny 😀
Totally same though, I still need to read her other books! But this one was too awesome looking not to highlight.
Yep to what Mogsy said. I haven’t read The Queens of Innis Lear either – it’s one of my rewind books! EEK
Lynn 😀
I think I may just put Queens on the back shelf and read this one first. 🙂
