The Blood of Queens

The Crow's Gambit, Book 2

By: Alex Pierce

Narrated by: Spencer Dillehay

What happens when you take a thief and a conman that everyone thinks is a monster that should be locked away, and make him the head of the Queen's personal bodyguard?

Gossip, treachery, and paperwork... So much paperwork.

Ren's appointment as Warden, the Queen's personal bodyguard and head of her security has created something of a stir in the walled realm of Lenmar. Opposition to his mere presence within the Crystal Palace is high, and old schemes and rivalries are kindled anew as the tension builds between the nobility and the factions pushing for change.

Ren just wants to keep the Queen safe, solve the mystery of his mentor's disappearance, and figure out why, Haim, who'd saved his life and been his accomplice on more than one occasion, was avoiding him.

An attack on the eve of the Moon Festival, when the Council of Nobles is set to convene, provides the spark to ignite a chain of events that threatens the very foundations that have kept the people of Lenmar safe, and puts everyone Ren cares about in danger.
