The Invasion of the Tearling

Synopsis of The Invasion of the Tearling

In 'The Invasion of the Tearling,' Kelsea Glynn faces new challenges as Queen of the Tearling. By stopping the shipments of slaves to the neighboring kingdom of Mortmesne, she crosses the Red Queen, a brutal ruler whose power derives from dark magic. The Red Queen sends her fearsome army into the Tearling to claim what she considers hers, unleashing an imminent invasion. As the Mort army draws closer, Kelsea develops a mysterious connection to a time before the Crossing and finds herself relying on a strange and possibly dangerous ally: a woman named Lily, fighting for her life in a world where being female can feel like a crime. The fate of the Tearling, and that of Kelsea's own soul, may depend on Lily and her story, but Kelsea may not have enough time to find out.
