Summary

For the sake of her kingdom, one young mother will risk everything.

As queen of the Shadow Kingdom, Amala Ashcroft spent her days providing for her people whose skin shone as brilliant as a thousand stars.

She was loved.

Exalted.

Treasured.

Until a god descended upon their land.

The god warned of a cloud of darkness approaching that would enslave her people and crush her reign. To save all she holds dear, Amala must strike deals with dangerous enemies and swear blood oaths to powerful allies.

But protection doesn’t come without sacrifice.

Forced to keep grim secrets, her carefully laid plans begin to unravel in the face of the ultimate betrayal. Can Amala prevent the merciless evil from taking hold? Or, will generations to come battle the same malicious war?

Heavy Lies the Crown is a stunning young adult fantasy tale perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, The Red Queen, and The Cruel Prince.

Book 1

I was lucky enough to get a copy of this book and I'm leaving an honest and voluntary review.

I was quite taken with the book, its very unique and has an air of mystery about it, itz very well written, there's plenty of depth and a vast amount of detailing, the word building is perfectly apt. The characters are extremely likable with their own backgrounds and personality. it's all brought together in this adventurous tale.
The narration is absolutely flawless, a stunning preference, Zura definitely give this book a uniqueness with her vocal talent. she captures the essence of each character and the ambience of the whole story.
A different thumbs up from me.
