Twin Crowns (Twin Crowns, #1)

by Catherine Doyle

Rose shook her head. ‘I always thought I would rule this land with a husband by my side. A king who was clever and strong and fearless. Why can’t it be a sister instead? Why can’t it be you? If it has been done before, it can be done again. Only this time it will be different. It will be better.’ Wren stood up, slowly. ‘What makes you so sure of that?’ ‘You felt what happened in the Vault today. Together we are more. Together we have true power.’ She took Wren by the shoulders. ‘War is coming. The Gevrans will return and when they do, you and I will face them together. I say we stand side by side and meet their ice with fire.’ Rose stood in the shadow of Glenna’s blood, looking stronger than Wren had ever seen her before. She realized that her sister was right. Banba was gone. The world was tilting and if Wren was going to rule this land with anyone, she wanted it to be Rose. Suddenly, it seemed as if that was the answer all along.
