Destiny - The Fractured Kingdom by M L Fergus Paperback

About the Book

"Persephone and Azriel's attempts to find the legendary healing Pool of Genezing and free the kingdom of Glyndoria from the shackles of the evil regent Mordesius has produced some mixed, and surprising, results. Although Persephone has reluctantly become queen, Mordesius has not been idle, attempting to destroy her at every turn--but the peoples of Glyndoria have not been idle either, and refuse to take any more of the Regent's violence. Facing the prospect of all-out war, how much more will Persephone have to sacrifice to bring peace to her kingdom?"--

Book Synopsis

Persephone's final battle awaits in this last installment of the epic YA romantasy trilogy, The Fractured Kingdom. For fans of Leigh Bardugo's Shadow and Bone series.

On the heels of a tragic discovery, Persephone was all but torn from Azriel's waiting arms. She now finds herself desperately alone, in terrible danger and burdened by responsibilities she would do almost anything to escape.
But some responsibilities are inescapable, and Persephone is not the girl she once was. Knowing that the clans are in mortal peril and that the realm is descending into chaos, she is fiercely determined to defeat Mordesius and set things to right for all people.
But she cannot imagine doing so without the handsome thief she has fallen helplessly, hopelessly in love with.
And so, armed with nothing but her wit, her dagger and her dauntless courage, Persephone races across the realm in search of Aziel and a path forward. As the stakes rise ever higher, loyalties shift, disasters strike and catastrophic grief gives way to inexpressible joy.
And just when it seems like it's finally over, the Fates play their cruelest trick of all . . .
In this epic, exhilarating final adventure in the Fractured Kingdom trilogy, destiny is coming for the girl who started it all.
