A Gift of Poison (The Kingmakers' War Book 1)

Political intrigue. Unexpected twists. A slow-to-burn romance that will have you begging for more.

A must-read for fans of Throne of Glass, Poison Study, Finnikin of the Rock, and An Ember in the Ashes.

This is the clever, heartbreaking, intricate YA fantasy you've always wanted to read.

Briand has always been too clever for her own good. Orphaned and under the guardianship of a cruel lord who hates her, she survives in a kingdom torn apart by civil war by looking out for herself first. She has lots of enemies and no friends--except for her cousin, Bran. Nobody thinks she has any value. Not her uncle. Not her cousin's tutor. Not the handsome, enigmatic steward of her uncle who might be a spy, Kael.

But when she gains the power to control dragons with her mind, Briand becomes more than valuable. She becomes the one thing that might win the war.

A band of misfit rebel fighters on a dangerous mission, now led by the mysterious Kael, discover they need Briand's powers to summon dragons. Nobody is happy about the situation, least of all Briand. But she doesn’t have much of a choice, and she is plunged into a world of danger, betrayal, and secrets.

Briand is going to need all her cleverness to survive.
