About this ebook

 Nameless. Unknown. Alone.
An assassin without a name, born to kill. Owned by a vicious man who refuses to call her anything but girl, she is forced to commit atrocious acts of violence. Vowing to take her future into her own hands, the seventeen-year-old decides to risk everything on one act of defiance—drinking from The Death Drink. The beverage kills most whose lips touch it—only allowing those who are destined to be royalty survive the first sip. 

Powerful. Revered. Hunted. 

To the astonishment of the nation of Valcora, she imbibes it and lives, which crowns her queen. Thrown into a life of royal intrigue, she now has a purpose—to rule with the fairness she was never shown. Despite her altruistic plans, it becomes apparent that someone wants her dead. The new queen must use her training from the former life she only wants to forget in order to stay alive long enough to turn her kingdom into something she can be proud of. She’ll hold onto the crown… or die trying.

When I first started this book, the writer really drew me into the story with it's fast pace and sharp dialogue. Yet it was filled with so many personal thoughts of regret and inadequate feelings by the main character that it quickly became annoying. I found myself really muscling through those parts. Wishing that the writer would have stuck more with the story. Still it is a good and entertaining book. Definitely short and sometimes unbelievable which I found disappointing, but definitely worth reading.

I loved the plot of this book and the blurb, but it was a little bit of a let-down. The main character was interesting and carried the story for the most part, but I think the storyline needed a bit more editing. Overall, I did like the theme of the story, though. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

THIS is THE BEST FANTASY SCI BOOK 'E V E R'! I read it until the end, wanting MORE! It contains everything you'd want, what's Not to like?! My eyes were reveted to those pages, absorbing like Osmosis! Dang, just wish she had gotten to make her speech. Surely there's a sequel? ..waiting for the Movie, I'll pay for the Best seats in the House!
