Of Sand and Storm (Fairy Queens)

It's a dangerous game, and Cinder's freedom is the prize.

By law, any child born in Idara is free, even if that child is born in a slave brothel. Unfortunately for Cinder, she has grown into a beauty that surpasses even the renown of her mother and grandmother, making her far too valuable a commodity to lose. The slaveholder calls in Cinder’s debts, forcing her into a dangerous game where her very freedom is the prize.

As she prepares to do the impossible, she discovers that there is more at stake than she could have ever imagined. The game for her freedom is only a smaller move in a complex coup against the immortal Summer Queen. That discovery shifts her from a small piece to a major player. It’s not only her freedom, but the fate of an entire nation, that rests in her hands.
