The Exiled Queen
By Cinda Williams Chima
Release Date: September 28, 2010

Synopsis (Possible Spoilers if you haven’t read The Demon King):
Han Alister makes a bargain with the clans to sponsor him at Mystweks Academy, where he will become their magical sell-sword against the power-hungry Wizard Council. Han and his clan friend Fire Dancer undertake the dangerous journey south through war-torn Arden. Once in Oden’s Ford, it doesn’t take long for the smoldering feud between Han and Micah Bayar to kindle into flame. After several attempts on his life, Han knows he has to find a way to defend himself. Meanwhile, in her disguise as gently-born Rebecca Morley, Princess Raisa ana’Marianna travels with her friend Amon Byrne and his triple of cadets to Wien House, the military academy at Oden’s Ford. There she hopes she will find both temporary sanctuary from a forced marriage and the education she needs to succeed as the next Gray Wolf queen. When Han Alister asks the girl he knows as Rebecca to tutor him, she agrees. The streetlord turned wizard with the complicated past fascinates her, and he makes it clear the interest is mutual. But Han blames Queen Marianna and the Bayars for the loss of his family. As their relationship deepens, Raisa suspects that if Han knew her true identity, he wouldn’t want anything to do with her.

Why I’m Waiting: This is the second book in the Seven Realms series and I literally cannot wait for its release. I read and LOVED The Demon King back in November and ever since finishing it I have been looking forward to the release of The Exiled Queen. I would totally recommend this series to anyone!
