When a mentor finds her, Eva’s given the opportunity to develop her magical skill and perhaps defeat her sister after all. It’s a terrifying magic with a sinister past, and Eva’s father could never find someone to teach her. Even though she wants to rule and be a good queen, Eva has never believed she’d have a chance because she’s never been able to use her magic of Blood and Marrow. Eva, our POV character, has always known that when she comes of age, she and her sister will fight to the death for the crown. It’s perfect for fans of Children of Blood and Bone or Three Dark Crowns!
