The Rightful Queen A Novel

The second book in Isabelle Steiger's epic fantasy series, which weaves together the lives of the haves and the have-nots—both desperately fighting to reassemble the remains of a fallen empire. Isabelle Steiger's debut The Empire's Ghost was praised by Booklist as a "well-crafted tale that is ripe for a sequel" with a cast of compelling characters and a tantalizing plot. In The Rightful Queen, Steiger returns us to the empire of Elesthene in a continuation of her epic fantasy series. The Rightful Queen is another example of author Isabelle Steiger's powerful writing, full of intricate characters and complex world-building that's reminiscent of George R. R. Martin and Patrick Rothfuss.
