Empire of Storms by Sarah J Maas
A LOT happens in this book. Holy crap. A+++ for plot movement. I should have known that Aelin showing up in Terrasen after two decades would not be as simple as just stepping up to her throne. Darrow tells her she is not the Queen unless the other nobles give their support, but I notice […]

Violet Sorrengail is the third child of General Lilith Sorrengail, who leads the Basgiath War College in Navarre. General Sorrengail is a dragon rider, and is incredibly proud of her two older children who followed in her footsteps. So much so that she forces Violet to give her dreams of becoming a Scribe like her […]
