THE STORY
True love—and world war—is at stake in the conclusion to The Pledge trilogy, a dark and romantic blend of dystopia and fantasy.
Charlie,
otherwise known as Queen Charlaina of Ludania, has become comfortable
as a leader and a ruler. She’s done admirable work to restore Ludania’s
broken communications systems with other Queendoms, and she’s mastered
the art of ignoring Sabara, the evil former queen whose Essence is alive
within Charlie. Or so she thinks.
When the negotiation of a
peace agreement with the Queendom of Astonia goes awry, Charlie receives
a brutal message that threatens Ludania, and it seems her only option
is to sacrifice herself in exchange for Ludanian freedom.
But
things aren’t always as they seem. Charlie is walking into a trap—one
set by Sabara, who is determined to reclaim the Queendoms at any cost.

What a beautiful cover! This definetely fits right into place as my anticipated Pretty Pick of the Week. I’ve read the first book in the Pledge series, and REALLY want to buy the second in the series to catch up! I seriously loved the first book, it was everything I could’ve asked for in a whirlwind of amazement in a storyworld.
happy reading!
