The Crown of Thorns, book 2: The Heir of Blood and BoneE.R. Browning

"They could be something more—something greater. An heir to an empire."

Viragrad has been saved… at a heavy cost. Now the Dark Kingdom is reeling from the failed takeover, and Enara is caught in a plot full of deception and secrets. She must navigate a court of vultures that wish to prey upon her while haunting visions and dreams confuse her sense of reality. The kingdom harbors terrible truths that soon unveil and threaten to tear down everything she fought to achieve. And while the mortal world is on the brink of collapse, a new elven queen quickly learns that power comes at a heavy cost, and that to play the game well, she must sacrifice everything she holds dear—or fall victim to the blade at her throat.

As Reverand pushes forward in the war, taking villages hostage, and enslaving those who do not submit, something wakes in the Frost of the Northlands. The Runa must unite a fractured tribe and learn magic before it is too late to take back her throne. Her destiny lies in the Otherworld, where spirits guide her path, and the war of queens begins.
