The Poison Throne
ByPublisher Description
Debut fantasy author Celine Kiernan spins a gothic tale of intrigue, adventure, and romance about a girl who defies a kingdom.
When young Wynter Moorehawke returns to court with her dying father, but she finds her old home shadowed with fear. The king has become a violent despot, terrorizing those he once loved. His son and heir Alberon has fled into exile and now there are whispers everywhere of rebellion. Meanwhile, Alberon's half-brother Razi has been elevated to his throne. He struggles to meet his King's demands while remaining loyal to his beloved brother and to his friend-Wynter.
Now, she must choose- her father or her dreams, her friend or her king, her duty. . . or her love.

3.5
“An unexpected delight from start to finish. The characters are easy to love, and their connection feels genuine and compelling. The story pulled me in more than I anticipated, and I finished it already looking forward to the next instalment.”
“This book is not what I expected, but I love it.
God Wynter could be anoying but I loved the banter. They toppled a few big themes in the book which I enjoyed and I love how subtle the magic/fantasy was in the book. Like the book could’ve gone without and it still would’ve been near perfect, BUT it made the book special. It wasn’t doused in magic or fantasy. What makes it even better is that magic didn’t solve anything. It just guided the story one way of the other. Believe systems were explains and storysetting was nice.
I’ve read this book multiple times and i swear i could scream at Wynter, but she changed for the better in the series I guess.
She was a Queen not just yet”
