KILL THE QUEEN - JENNIFER ESTEP KARTONIERT (TB)

Gladiator meets Game of Thrones: a royal woman becomes a skilled warrior to destroy her
murderous cousin  avenge her family  and save her kingdom in this first entry in a dazzling
fantasy epic from the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Elemental Assassin
series-an enthralling tale that combines magic  murder  intrigue  adventure  and a hint of
romance. In a realm where one's magical power determines one's worth  Lady Everleigh's lack of
obvious ability relegates her to the shadows of the royal court of Bellona  a kingdom steeped
in gladiator tradition. Seventeenth in line for the throne  Evie is nothing more than a
ceremonial fixture  overlooked and mostly forgotten. But dark forces are at work inside the
palace. When her cousin Vasilia  the crown princess  assassinates her mother the queen and
takes the throne by force  Evie is also attacked  along with the rest of the royal family.
Luckily for Evie  her secret immunity to magic helps her escape the massacre. Forced into
hiding to survive  she falls in with a gladiator troupe. Though they use their talents to
entertain and amuse the masses  the gladiators are actually highly trained warriors skilled in
the art of war  especially Lucas Sullivan  a powerful magier with secrets of his own. Uncertain
of her future-or if she even has one-Evie begins training with the troupe until she can decide
her next move. But as the bloodthirsty Vasilia exerts her power  pushing Bellona to the brink
of war  Evie's fate becomes clear: she must become a fearsome gladiator herself . . . and kill
the queen.
