In  the second installment of C.L. Clark’s Magic of the Lost trilogy,  soldier Touraine and princess Luca must return to Balladaire to reclaim  Luca’s throne and to face the consequences of dismantling an empire.

The  rebels have won, and the empire is withdrawing from Qazal. But undoing  the tangled web that binds the two nations will not be easy, and  Touraine and Luca will face their greatest challenge yet.

Luca needs to oust her uncle from the Balladairan throne once and for all  and take her rightful place as Queen. But he won’t let go of power so  easily. When he calls for a “Trial of Competence” and Luca’s allies  start disappearing from her side, she will need to find a way to prove  her might. And she knows someone who can help…

Touraine has  found a home in the newly free country of Qazal. But she soon realizes  that leading a country and leading a revolution are two very different  tasks. And, even more importantly, if Luca’s uncle doesn’t ratify the  treaty, the Qazali could end up right back where they started.

Together,  the two women will have to come overcome their enemies, their history,  and their heartbreak in order to find a way to secure Luca’s power and  Touraine’s freedom.
