Synopsis
The third book in A Trial of Sorcerers is full of heart-pounding action, fantastical magic, and romantic tension that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Last night, Eira killed a man. However justified her actions were, many now regard her as a cold-blooded murderer and a heretic who extinguished their hope. But there's no time to explain herself. She barely has a chance to wash the blood off her hands before the Tournament of Five Kingdoms begins. Sequestered with the other champions for the duration of the tournament, Eira must now navigate the games, her competition, the enemies who hunt her head, and - somehow worse than all the rest - being stuck in close quarters with the man who broke her heart. All is fair in love and magical tournaments, and Eira is ready for the fight of her life. Get ready for twists you never saw coming in A Tournament of Crowns. This series is perfect for readers who enjoy young adult, epic fantasy full of elemental magic, slow-burn romance, found family, and battles for the futures of kingdoms set in a world you'll never want to leave. Don't miss a single book in the A Trial of Sorcerers series. Readers should start with A Trial of Sorcerers, and then A Hunt of Shadows, before reading A Tournament of Crowns.
