In the explosive third volume of The Hundredth Queen Series, the queen of flames faces off against a demon of ice.

Despite the odds, Kalinda has survived everything: Marriage to a tyrant. Competitions to the death. The forbidden power to rule fire. The icy touch of the demon. That same demon today disguises itself as Rajah Tarek, Kalinda’s late husband and a man who hasn’t ceased haunting her.

Upon taking control of the palace as well as the army, the demon brands Kalinda and her companions as traitors about The Rogue Queen towards the empire. They flee over the sea, searching for haven in the Southern Isles. In Lestari, Kalinda’s forces aren’t condemned, as they are in her land.

Now free to utilize them to safeguard those she loves, Kalinda shortly realizes that the demon has tainted her having a frosty poison, making her fire uncontrollable. But the lack of control may be precisely what she needs to send out the demon back to the darkest depths of the Void.

To get back the empire, Kalinda will ally with those she distrusts-and risk losing those most loyal to her-to beat the demon and bring peacefulness to a divided nation.
