In this all-new novel from the world of Dhonielle Clayton’s sweeping, lush Belles series, rebellious, outspoken, fan-favorite Edel Beauregard enters the Beauty Trials–a deadly competition to find the next Queen of Orl?ns.
Sophia, the dangerous and erratic former queen, has been imprisoned, restoring peace to Orl?ns. Now her sister, Charlotte, sits on the throne and has decided to invoke the ancient tradition of the Beauty Trials–a series of harrowing tests meant to find the true ruler of Orl?ns. Edel, who has always aspired to be more than a Belle, decides to enter and, after promising to bind her arcana to keep from having an unnatural advantage, joins a few dozen other hopefuls intent on becoming the next Queen of Orl?ns. But the Trials are far worse than any of them bargained for. As the women are put through tasks that test their strength, confidence, composure, and bravery, many perish, and Edel is mysteriously attacked by one of the other competitors–forcing her to use her powers just to survive. Will her subterfuge cost her the crown, or is there a larger conspiracy at play? New York Times best-selling author Dhonielle Clayton returns to her sweeping, lush fantasy series with an all-new story teeming with high-stakes court intrigue and danger disguised by beauty.Author: Dhonielle Clayton
