City of Bastards

In this action-packed sequel to Royal Bastards Tilla uncovers a sinister conspiracy to take down the kingdom from within.

Tilla bastard of House Kent has it made. Safe from her murderous father in the dazzling capital of Lightspire she lives a life of luxury under the protection of the Volaris King alongside her boyfriend Zell and best friend Princess Lyriana. So why isn't she happy? Maybe it's the whispers and stares that follow her wherever she goes as the daughter of the traitor waging war against Lightspire. Or maybe it's the memories of her beloved brother Jax who lies cold in his grave even as she tries to settle into a life in the city's prestigious University. Then Tilla stumbles upon the body of a classmate -- a friend. The authorities are quick to rule it a suicide and sweep it under the rug but when Tilla herself is attacked by a mysterious man with terrifying powers she's convinced of a conspiracy. Her friends beg her to stay silent; what she's suggesting is impossible...and treasonous.

The deeper she digs the more questions she uncovers. Nothing is as it seems in the glorious capital and Tilla's presence might just be the spark that sets the Kingdom aflame.>
