This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me
By Ilona Andrews

This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me delivers the kind of high-stakes fantasy the author is known for: a politically volatile realm, razor-sharp power plays and a heroine who refuses to be out-manoeuvred. Set within a kingdom where loyalty shifts as quickly as influence, the novel follows a woman forced to navigate court intrigue, rival factions and mounting threats that could reshape the balance of power.
