We have a lot of eARC’s and we want to promote them a little bit more. So we decided to do some more Bookish Beginnings On Friday. Today I wanted to share the beginning of Six Wild Crowns by Holly Race, one of my newest eARC’s. This book will be released June 10th, let’s see how it starts!
NO KING CAN RULE THEM.
THE TUDOR QUEENS AS YOU’VE NEVER SEEN THEM BEFORE – DISCOVER YOUR NEW EPIC FANTASY OBSESSION.
The king has been appointed by god to marry six queens. Those six queens are all that stand between the kingdom of Elben and ruin. Or so we have been told.
Each queen vies for attention. Clever, ambitious Boleyn is determined to be Henry’s favourite. And if she must incite a war to win Henry over? So be it.
Seymour acts as spy and assassin in a court teeming with dragons, backstabbing courtiers and strange magic. But when she and Boleyn become the unlikeliest of things – allies – the balance of power begins to shift. Together they will discover an ancient, rotting magic at Elben’s heart. A magic that their king will do anything to protect.
A captivating epic fantasy filled with dragons, court politics and sapphic yearning, perfect for fans of The Priory of the Orange Tree and House of the Dragon.
Her wedding dress is the colour of the massacre of Pilvreen. A scarlet so vivid it had to be dyed three times in the spice of the Wyrtang tree, imported all the way from the distant land of Avahuc. A red so deep it must be stored in the petals of the Thefor flower, lest its vermillion fade. The fabric still smells of the blossom now, ambrosial, like a fine wine.
Okay, so this first paragraph doesn’t really give me that much to be honest. It doesn’t get me really excited but I also can’t really form any opinion yet. The synopsis does make me super excited for this story though! I love a good retelling and this story inspired by the Tudor queens sounds so cool. It has dragons, that fact alone excites me already haha. But I also just really like the concept of the story. I have high hopes for this one and plan on reading it for the publication date!
