Summary: (from goodreads) You can't always run from danger...
Haunted by the loss of his mother and sister, Han Alister journeys south to begin his schooling at Mystwerk House in Oden’s Ford. But leaving the Fells doesn’t mean danger isn’t far behind. Han is hunted every step of the way by the Bayars, a powerful wizarding family set on reclaiming the amulet Han stole from them. And Mystwerk House has dangers of its own. There, Han meets Crow, a mysterious wizard who agrees to tutor Han in the darker parts of sorcery—but the bargain they make is one Han may regret.
Meanwhile, Princess Raisa ana’Marianna runs from a forced marriage in the Fells, accompanied by her friend Amon and his triple of cadets. Now, the safest place for Raisa is Wein House, the military academy at Oden's Ford. If Raisa can pass as a regular student, Wein House will offer both sanctuary and the education Raisa needs to succeed as the next Gray Wolf queen.
The Exiled Queen is an epic tale of uncertain friendships, cut-throat politics, and the irresistible power of attraction.
In the land of the Seven Realms turmoil and chaos threatens the realm of the Fells. Princess Raisa is on her way to Oden’s Ford after escaping a forced marriage to wizards. At Oden’s Ford, she hopes to learn about military and also find a way to keep her kingdom from falling apart. As she begins her journey, Han Alister a young man filled with grief and hatred at the loss of his family, also begins a quest to Oden’s Ford, to learn as much as he can about his wizardry to reap his revenge on his family’s murderers. Little do both of them know, is that their destinies will be intertwined so drastically that it will change their world. Cinda Chima does it again with a riveting sequel that showcases her many talents. So do your self a favor and go to your nearest book store to get introduced to this dramatic series.
