With Dagger and Song (Curse of the Cyren Queen)

An empty crown. A perilous journey.
Will she answer when darkness calls?\nAgainst all odds, Roh survived the harrowing Queen's Tournament, but now something far deadlier awaits her: a formidable quest for the three magic birthstones of Saddoriel.\nThe gems have been scattered across the realms - and only when Roh retrieves them can she take her place as queen. But surrounded by hostile companions and tormented by the dangerous secret she carries, Roh begins to realise that the pursuit of power may prove more destructive than she ever imagined.\nNothing can prepare her for the nightmares that fester in the shadows of Akoris, a fanatical cyren territory, or the twisted games of its cunning leader...\nCan Roh win the first birthstone without sacrificing everything she holds dear - and without losing herself?\nPacked with heart-pounding action and layers of intrigue, With Dagger and Song is the second epic instalment in Helen Scheuerer's Curse of the Cyren Queen quartet.
