Penelope Barsetti

Quand je le livre à ma mère, je comprends qu'elle a des plans bien plus sinistres pour elle. Elle me dit de faire exactement ce que son père a fait : la violer.

Il m'a fait une promesse — puis il l'a rompue. Kingsnake m'a promis de me libérer une fois qu'il aurait trouvé le remède, mais il me tient dans l'ignorance depuis le début. Maintenant que je connais la vérité, que je sais qu'il n'existe pas de remède, il refuse de me laisser partir.

Mon mari m'a trahie. Le pardon n'est pas une option. Je demanderai à la reine Rolfe de rompre notre mariage. Nous le voulons toutes les deux. Sans compter qu'elle m'est redevable.

La reine Rolfe m'a trahi. Ma propre mère. Les Dents ont ma femme, et je ne peux pas m'autoriser à penser à ce que ces barbares lui font.

Kingsnake prend mon visage entre ses mains et m'attire vers lui. Or nous devons finir ce que nous avons commencé, former une alliance avec les Éthéréens et partager le remède avec les humains, mais j'ai du mal à être en sa présence maintenant.

My task is simple: kidnap Princess Rolfe. But the second I lay eyes on her I realize shes anything but simple. Rancor, Leader of the Teeth, has commanded I fetch her in exchange for the Golden Serpent venom. But my plan is immediately derailed when I feel it. When I feel how much she wants me...

I was fifteen when the Death King came for us. With a mighty black dragon and the ability to command the dead, he raised an army of our fallen soldiers to fight for himand conquered us in the night. My father, King Laurier of Scorpion Valley, couldnt stop him. I tried to flee but came face to...

I had the chance to leave these lands and avoid the warbut I chose to stay. I chose to stay because if I don't keep Harlow safe, she'll die. The demons are a foe too powerful, invulnerable to Huntley's fire-breathing dragons, a fiend so untouchable that HeartHolme and the other kingdoms stand no...

Harlow is smart and fierce, and I should have known that she would cross me. Now I'm a prisoner under the castleand once her father returns I'm as good as dead. I've heard tales of the king's ferocity, and I know he'll burn me alive with just his stare. But before he can kill me, I make a...

Ellasara came at me with a bladeand she defeated me. But my eyes open to my bedchambers, and I see Kingsnake sitting at my beside with Fang next to my pillow. I expect to feel the horrible pain of my injury, but I already feel healed. When I sit up, the room doesnt spin and I dont feel weak. In...

Kingsnake promised me he would let me go once he found the cure, but he’s known this entire time and never once shared it with me. And now that I know the truth—that there is no cure—he still won’t let me go. Now I’m his prisoner once again. He asks to feed from me several times, but I...

A sickness has claimed the kingdoms of men. Everyone is either sick or dying, weak to a curse that has no cureexcept for me. Im immune to this mysterious illness, and I do my best to heal the sick and ease the pain of the dying. I was supposed to marry the Prince of Raventower, but after his...

My husband betrayed me. Forgiveness isn’t an option. I’ll ask Queen Rolfe to break our marriage. We both want it. Not to mention—she owes me....

Queen Rolfe betrayed me. My own mother. The Teeth have my wife, and I can't allow myself to think about what they're doing to her. I need to raise an army to get her back, and if I can't, I'll march in there and do it myself....

He’s one of my father’s guards. Goes by the name Mastodon. There’s something about him I don’t like. He takes me into a cavern, and we descend to the Bottom of the Cliffs. He tells me why he’s doing this: My family took everything from him - and he’s about to do the same....

Orphaned far too young and the only child of the King and Queen Barclay, I was destined to take the throne upon my twenty-second birthday. But no woman has ever ruled my kingdom, especially one who is unwed. Just when I decide to step back and let the crown be decided by the first-ever election...

From the moment our paths crossed, Wrath has always been with me. Until he's not. The Barbarians come for the Southern Isles by land and sea, and once the battle commences, I quickly learn that the command of the dead has been stripped from me. All I have left is the strength of a god, but...

I knew Callum would come for me. I leave the treacherous underworld behind and return to life with the man I love—finally. But when I ask him to marry me, there's a heaviness in his silence. He admits that he's kept something from me . . . and he finally tells me his truth. A secret I wish...

With my father indisposed, I become Queen of the Southern Isles—and it's the heaviest responsibility of my life. I know the Barbarians will come for the kingdom, and I have to prepare for war. But I don't have to do it alone . . . because Wrath is with me. My advisor and my protector, he helps...
