Series: Ravenspire (Book 3) Hardcover: 416 pages Publisher: Balzer + Bray (February 13, 2018) Buy The Book: Amazon.com Javan Najafai, crown prince of Akram, has spent the last ten years at an elite boarding school, far away from his kingdom.

Review by Jackie SPINDLE by E.K. Johnston Hardcover: 368 pages Publisher: Disney-Hyperion (December 6, 2016) Language: English The world is made safe by a woman...but it is a very big world. It has been generations since the Storyteller Queen drove the demon out of her husband and saved her country from fire and blood. Her family has prospered beyond the borders of their village, and two new kingdoms have sprouted on either side of the mountains where the demons are kept prisoner by bright iron, and by the creatures the Storyteller Queen made to keep them contained. But the prison is crumbling. Through years of careful manipulation, a demon has regained her power. She has made one kingdom strong and brought the other to its knees, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. When a princess is born, the demon is ready with the final blow: a curse that will cost the princess her very soul, or force her to destroy her own people to save her life. The threads of magic are tightly ...
