     The Kingmaker. Seize the Crown. Born to Rule DESTINED TO DIE. BORN TO RULE. “One of the best premises I have come across in the fantasy world.” YA Books Central “If you’re a fan of YA lit with courageous young ladies and mysteries, read this book today!” The Book Nerd Girl “I am sixteen years old and I will die on the morning of my seventeenth birthday. As tradition dictates, I will be sacrificed and my life’s blood will determine which one of my two brothers will be King. My blood will kill one and crown one. My name is Everleigh and I am the Kingmaker.” Terrified of her fate but resigned to her death, Everleigh has less than a week to live. The legend of the Kingmaker goes back millions of years and Everleigh would never dare to question her deadly inheritance. Kingmakers are special; their magic chooses the rightful King of the Realm and they all die on their seventeenth birthday. Except this one. Saved from the inevitable, Everleigh learns that she is the Kingmaker who will live, the Kingmaker who will rule, the Kingmaker who will be Queen. But not everyone agrees with an age-old prophecy that says that a girl will rule the Realm and soon Everleigh is locked in a deadly battle for the throne. Can she escape her blood-thirsty enemies and live long enough to be crowned Queen? Seize the Crown “If I am not the Kingmaker, who am I? If I am not Queen, who am I?” Believing her first love is dead, devastated by her brother’s actions, and cruelly denied of the crown she believes is her own, Everleigh faces the fight of her life in the second book of The Kingmaker Trilogy. Millards’s deadly ambition sees him wear the crown that should rightfully be on her head. Everleigh is determined to avenge her loved ones and seize the crown and if a fight is what it takes to rule, she will fight or die trying, in this fantastic follow up to The Kingmaker. Seize the Crown follows Everleigh on her quest for revenge and the throne, as she battles against her brother and his murderous tyranny. Born to Rule Maddeningly, the crown still eludes Everleigh as we begin the breath-taking conclusion to The Kingmaker Trilogy. In a hugely welcome turn of events, her first love is back at her side, the crown is almost on her head and she is ready to rule. But with Millard on the run and attacks being made ‘in the name of the King’, Everleigh must put a stop to her brother before her Kingdom is in ruins and if, as Queen, she must slay her own sibling, she will gladly do it. The Kingmaker Trilogy is a magical young adult fantasy, packed with fantastical twists, heart-stopping action and fabulously feisty females. If you enjoy reading Sarah J. Maas, Victoria Aveyard and Melissa Meyer then you’ll love The Kingmaker Trilogy. Pick up your copy today!
