ONE. DAY! Let's celebrate with a sneak peek at our handsome prince today...

(1) "Lots of people made promises, but Shem actually kept them."

(2) “Truly.” He must’ve seen through me. He leaned closer, more sincere than I’d ever seen him. “You’ve just never required the skill of manipulation before.” After a pause, he added more softly, “That’s something I very much admire about you.”

For today's teaser tuesday, I'm gonna share my fave line which happens to be the LAST LINE of the book...

ARE YOU READY???
(don't read on if you don't want a tiny spoiler... but also it's not a huge spoiler considering the series title is The Queen's Rise hehe...)

OKAY.

HERE IT IS...

"Someday, I'm going to be queen."

"As I'd left my apartment for the last time, I'd tucked that empty jar—the one I'd used to trap my friends—beneath the clothes in my bag. I wanted it with me. Not as a memory, since I'd never forget what I'd done, but more to remind myself never to let something like that happen again."

I can't believe this book comes out next week!!

ANOTHER TEASER:

"This other shifter clearly knew more about their Gift than I did. They probably knew exactly what the Guard would do in a situation like this and would be prepared. Which meant they weren't likely to get caught.

That led to an even worse realization.

They're not going to catch the intruder... They're going to catch ME."

Releases JUNE 20th!!!

"All inhabitants are currently locked inside the castle walls until the spell is lifted," Uriel finished. "Which also means we're trapped here. With the shifter."

Wanted to share some of the accidental "lockdown vibes" with a magical twist!
