The sequel to Court of Fives is now available:
"In this thrilling sequel to World Fantasy Award finalist Kate
Elliott's captivating young adult debut, a girl immersed in
high-stakes
competition holds the fate of a kingdom in her
hands.
Now a
Challenger, Jessamy is moving up the ranks of the Fives--the
complex
athletic contest favored by the lowliest Commoners and the
loftiest
Patrons alike. Pitted against far more formidable adversaries,
success
is Jes's only option, as her prize money is essential to keeping
her
hidden family alive. She leaps at the chance to tour the countryside
and
face more competitors, but then a fatal attack on her traveling party
puts Jes at the center of the war that Lord Kalliarkos--the prince she
still
loves--is fighting against their country's enemies. With a
sinister
overlord watching her every move and Kal's life on the line,
Jes must now become more than a Fives champion.... She must become a
warrior."
