The Queen Will Betray You: The Kingdoms of Sand & Sky Book Two (Kingdoms of Sand and Sky #2)

The breathtaking sequel to Sarah Henning's "The Princess Will Save You"--a brilliantly-executed YA fantasy homage to The Princess Bride

KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE CROWN…

After a thousand years of political stability, the realm of The Sand and Sky is up for grabs. Four kingdoms, four rulers vying for the ultimate prize, sovereignty over the entire continent: A ruthless old king spinning webs, whose schemes encompass generations. A widowed queen whose only credo is all kings must die. A runaway queen whose unexpected return upends everyone’s plans. And a prince-in-waiting determined to wait no more.

Standing against them are a dispossessed princess and her stable boy love with a surprising claim of his own. Their only hope in the face of unspeakable betrayals, enemies hidden in the shadows, and insurmountable odds is the power of true love...

Praise for The Princess Will Save You

“Full of inconceivable wit, daring adventure, and cunning political machinations…It’s as if Sarah Henning looked into my soul that yearned for a book like The Princess Bride and said―as you wish. And yes, this is a kissing book.”―Ashley Poston, author of Heart of Iron

“A breakneck fantasy adventure…. Swoony romance, sword fights, a great cast of characters, and some clever parallels to a story about another princess who won’t be made a bride make The Princess Will Save You a strong contender for my favorite novel of the year.”―Emily Hall Schroen, Main Street Books, St. Charles, Missouri
