Loyalties are tested, hearts are broken and a

Queen stands ready to sacrifice it all for her people.

The day the guards came and took her from her from her quiet cottage life was the day she was exposed to assassins, betrayal, magic and death.
The day she freed the Tearling from slavery to a neighboring kingdom was the day she doomed them with war.
The day she saved the Tearling from war was the day she doomed herself…

On her way to the enemy nation of Mortmesne, Kelsea comes to grips with the reality that she is at the whim of the Red Queen. The woman who enslaved the New world, one kingdom at a time, the woman who wields power such as no one has ever seen, and the woman who has made a pact with the dark.
Can Kelsea overcome the fear and uncertainty to escape from the feared dungeons of the Red Queen?

The Mace guards the Tearling against a revolt, the church at the heart of the problems. Slowly the corrupt are taking the city for their own and betrayal is happening at every turn. The Queen’s Guard is all that is stopping complete chaos and the end of the Tearling way, but they will need much more than smarts and swords to save the Kingdom, they will need The Marked Queen, The Glynn Queen, The True Queen.

Wow. This truly is the end we all needed to this epic Trilogy.

The Fate of the Tearling was long awaited, I was practically on the edge of my seat the week before it came out! Erika Johansen transports me every time, whether it be my first reading or my fifth. The words blur and before me is the story playing out. One of the greatest things about this series are the characters. They are so believable. Kelsea is anyone I could meet, someone I went to school with, maybe someone I work with. She is an amazing, inspirational, ordinary person. She is shaped by the fate set out before her and because of this she became extraordinary. And it doesn’t stop with Kelsea! Read on and find out about the Red Queen, the Mace, Penn and people from a distant past.
