Queen (Thrall #3)

The story continues in the third instalment of the Thrall series...

Separated from Thorne by the sadistic Royal Family, Shara makes her way through miles of dangerous, dark tunnels in search of him. Deep below the realm of Kravan, she forges a new friendship or two and encounters terrifying new enemies.
When she's finally reunited with her tethered mate, all seems perfect. For the first time in their lives, they are granted the gift of freedom and the ability to love one another without the risk of punishment. At long last, Kravan can be reformed, its power returned to the people.
But new secrets have begun to arise. Cryptic messages are scrawled on the Capitol's walls. Are they mere propaganda, or absolute truth? Who are the mysterious enemies who conceal their faces, and who, exactly, is their leader?
Shara has learned from experience never to trust anyone. But she's beginning to suspect that those closest to her are as devious as her greatest enemy.
When the most momentous day of her life comes, she's forced to make a choice that will tear her apart. Whether she'll ever manage to heal is another question altogether.
