Crown of Rust and Ruin

The Queen Trials, Book 8

By: Penelope Wright

Narrated by: Penelope M. Wright

Clio has everything she needs to end King Ergondy's reign forever... except the opportunity. Now she's fighting to stay on top as King Ergondy uses a "glistening powder shortage" and an intensified Forever War to justify changing all the rules. Clio knows that if the king dismisses her, she'll never go home. Instead she'll live the rest of her life in the dungeons, feeding his insatiable appetite with her powerful feelings. Clio must survive to the bitter end, and even then, that might not be enough.

An exciting and rewarding read

For all eight books the story kept me completely engaged. Cleo.was a heroine I rooted for and whose ups and downs throughout this series kept me on the edge of my chair. I hope to see Cleo in a sequel to the Queen Trials someday.

Sooo entertaining

loved the series, always kept me on my toes! The danger was as much fun as the love

Amazing storyline

This series was very unique, and the world building and systems were impressive. Love the main character.

Enjoyable beyond words

I read each of these 8 books almost as soon as they came out and couldn't wait for the next one. They brought an escape whenever I read because the world and characters were so real. The narration was also great. I highly reccomend all of them!

Very good

This is an excellent series, much like the hunger games. But this one is better in my opinion.
