With dagger and song - helen scheuerer

An empty crown.

A perilous journey.

Will she answer when darkness calls? Against all odds, Roh survived the harrowing Queens Tournament, but now something far deadlier awaits her: a formidable quest for the three magic birthstones of Saddoriel.

The gems have been scattered across the realms - and only when Roh retrieves them can she take her place as queen.

But surrounded by hostile companions and tormented by the dangerous secret she carries, Roh begins to realise that the pursuit of power may prove more destructive than she ever imagined.

Nothing can prepare her for the nightmares that fester in the shadows of Akoris, a fanatical cyren territory, or the twisted games of its cunning leader.

Can Roh win the first birthstone without sacrificing everything she holds dear - and without losing herself? Packed with heart-pounding action and layers of intrigue, With Dagger and Song is the second epic instalment in Helen Scheuerers Curse of the Cyren Queen quartet.
