A year has passed since Elara was forced to masquerade as the Masked Princess and Wilha went into hiding as a local seamstress. For the first time, Elara has found the home she’s always craved among her betrothed’s family, but when their father dies suddenly and their brother becomes king of Galandra, he reveals the girls’ deception to Kyrenica’s royal family and demands his sisters return to Galandra.
Viewed as traitors, Elara and Wilha have no choice but to once again become pawns in the Guardian’s ever-changing games, but the stakes are high. As old enemies surface and their brother continues to rule, Galandra quickly begins to decline. Before long, the sisters aren’t just fighting for their lives — they’re fighting for their country, their people, and for the Opal Crown. But there is only one throne to overthrow, and Wilha and Elara must decide which of them will become the queen and the savior of their people before their history can repeat itself with another royal betrayal.
After reading The Princess in the Opal Mask, I expected this sequel to be a simple, nothing-too-serious read. Instead, I found myself caught up in the politics, the action, and the plot for the throne, racing to the end, yet not wanting to finish.
Yes, the story is a little immature at times and the setting is hard to imagine, but the story is full of twists and so much action-packed adventure that it’s easy to forgive these minor problems. In the end, The Opal Crown is a fun fantasy adventure that may not be super-complex but remains memorable in its own right.
Rated: Mild, for peril and mild violence.
