The spiral to madness begins with a single push.
Abandoned by her people, Queen Talyien’s quest takes a turn for the worst as she stumbles upon a plot deeper and more sinister than she could have ever imagined, one that will displace her king and see her son dead. The road home beckons, strewn with a tangled web of deceit and impossible horrors that unearth the nation’s true troubles – creatures from the dark, mad dragons, and men with hearts hungry for power.
To save her land, Talyien must confront the myth others have built around her: Warlord Yeshin’s daughter, symbol of peace, warrior and queen, and everything she could never be.
The price of failure is steep. Her friends are few. And a nation carved by a murderer can only be destined for war.
Welcome to my stop on the Ikessar Falcon Book Tour, hosted by Caffeine Book Tours. I’ve been a huge fan of the Chronicles of a Bitch Queen series ever since I’d gotten my hands on The Wolf of Oren-Yaro back in 2018 (review here). It’s a huge honor to get the chance to participate in this book tour and promote this fantastic sequel!
I received a ARC of this book from the publisher Orbit Books as part of the Ikessar Falcon book tour by Caffeine Book Tours. All thoughts are my own

Review:
Having read The Wolf of Oren-Yaro during it’s tradpub release in 2018, I was more than excited for it’s sequel. We finally get Rayyel!!!! We get more politics, and more scheming, and more delicious delicious food description that make you super hungry as you read and leave you wishing you were a better cook. While Ikessar Falcon is a chonk at 220k words, I was absolutely not left disappointed.
