Queen Among the Dead (Hardcover)

Staff Reviews
Neve is the youngest daughter of the King and with the help of her unlikely “partner in crime”, Ronan, she must take her rightful spot on the throne even though she yearns for freedom from the crown. Neve and Ronan making a living selling stolen spells, but when a power struggle occurs Neve knows what she must do, and so starts the action-packed adventure. This story is a wonderful retelling of Irish fairytales and legends, filled with magic, banshees, darkness, action, and a strong female lead! If you are a fan of discovering new folklore but are tired of hearing the same old tales, this is definitely for you!
