Good vs evil is never an easy thing....making it that much harder is when Eliza learns her older sister Nerissa is also competing in these trials to become the new Queen Witch. That part wasn't the shocker since her sister has been training since birth. What did throw her for a loop was when she spotted her sister raising a friggin ZOMBIE?!? Her sister was a necromancer of all things?!? What the heck was going on!! All Eliza did know was her sister could NOT be allowed to win no matter what!! The safety of their kingdom was at stake here. Now all she had to do was win this thing... Did she have the strength and ability to do so! Read this exciting tale to see how Eliza begins believing in herself..... Watch as her inner light starts to shine.... I for one greatly look forward to seeing what's next for Queen Eliza, for one thing I'm certain... Things won't remain calm if her sister has any say in the matter.… (meer)

I absolutely ADORED this read. It's part of the "Cursed Seas" collection by different authors. In my book this is my favorite of the collection so far. I was kindly gifted an ARC copy of this adventure by the author in return for my honest opinion.

My honest opinion is this book is AWESOME!!!! Princess Liliana has a huge heart and love for her underwater people, the sirens. Slowly all the creatures in their realm have been suffering. Lack of food, mutating species, and other craziness. Ever since the meteor hit the earth land and sea have taken huge hits. She's been doing her part by desperately attempting everything and anything she can think of to cure her people. Her life takes a massive hit when she loses her parents, the King and Queen while battling sea dra gons. In one day she loses her parents, gains two orphaned sea dragons that somehow bonded to her, and becomes Queen.

Queen Liliana barely had a moment on her parents throne when a messenger arrived with hope. Telling them that in the Thirteenth Colony they'd found a magic stone that's started healing their portion of the seas... And as such the land above is also starting to thrive. Lil was excited by this news until she learns each colony has their own magic stone to locate and then figure the sacred resting place for said stone. With no clue where to begin, at least they now know there IS an actual tangible thing that can save their people. It's now time to prove herself her parents daughter. She will find this blessing and help the sirens and surrounding lands. Follow Liliana on this magical journey...along with her tribe off misfits and her air/sea dragons on a quest to save them all. Like in most adventures all kinds of crazy ensues, friendships are formed, relationships tested, and all kinds of 'magic' 😉 along the way. Will she be victorious? Read and find out....I loved seeing her gain confidence within, and realise her true worth. All in all a great read!!… (meer)
