Sediryl has always yearned for responsibility–and power–and she was convinced she was ready for them… until the events of the Chatcaavan war demonstrated just how immense those responsibilities were, and just how parlous the power necessary to fulfill them. Even so, she’s determined to prove herself worthy to her empress and all the Eldritch: the rich, the poor, the disenfranchised and the entrenched. Showing that she can be all things to all people is hard enough without Liolesa’s former heir stirring the pot. And that’s without Eldritch history casting its long shadow over the proceedings….
She has less than a month to convince the Eldritch that she deserves the heir’s coronet, and none of them can afford for her to fail. The road to the future leads through her cropfields, and only Sediryl can lead them to it… if they’ll follow.
Farmer’s Crown completes the Jubilee Summer duology and sets the stage for the next generation of Peltedverse novels. There’s a storm on the horizon….
Quotes
- Lia and the wolves is a fun segment. I am not going to quote it all but recommend Kindle pages 60/438 to the end of that chapter
- /But you don't smell as they do. They're scared of it (touching) or disgusted. You're sad that you can not touch./ The Guardkin's nostrils flared. /An old sorrow, like a scarred wound. Those smell different too./
... /That is why we came. We were hunting our fate. We have run it to the ground here, in this room, with you. A Godpack packmothers without cubs, with the most acute sense of smell of any biped we've met. Who hunts the fate of her people, but is so far in front of her pack that they can't help her./ He lifted his head. /But we are fast runners. You will not hunt alone anymore./
