Produktbeschreibung
From the bestselling author of The High Mountain Court A.K. Mulford comes the second enchanting book in the all-new Golden Court romantasy shifter trilogy-A Sky of Emerald Stars continues wolf-shifter Calla's journey and explores a new love story and adventure-Sadie's-as kingdoms clash with war on the horizon and pack politics threatens to disrupt what Calla and Grae have built, both for themselves, and Aotreas.

A secret song. A hidden fortress. A world on the brink of war.

After the long, despotic reign under the evil sorceress, Sawyn, life in the Golden Court is finally rebuilding. New leadership means new beginnings, and Sadie Rauxtide-now a royal guard-has been grappling with how she'll fit into her new home. But when a rival Wolf king, Nero, kidnaps the Queen's friend and mentor Ora, any hopes for peace are lost.

The Golden Court springs into action, and Sadie is tasked with an important mission: travel with Navin and Maez to try to win new allies and uncover Nero's hidden secrets. Yet Navin has secrets of his own, and Sadie is tasked with uncovering them while battling her growing attraction to the man who betrayed her. She has a mission, but the heart wants what it wants. And fate? Fate has its own magic, and it's one more thing out of her control.

Meanwhile, Queen Calla is forced to seek help from the Ice Wolf pack in order to stop Nero's prejudicial rule. However, the Queen of Taigos makes Calla's objectives impossible with their capricious relationship standing in the way-completely unwilling to commit in helping Calla rescue Ora and repeatedly dismissing Calla's new gender identity. With no true allyship from Taigos Court, Calla battles between diplomacy and being their true self as they realize coming out is only the beginning of their journey of self-discovery.

Tensions rise on both fronts as Sadie and Calla struggle to gain support for the brewing war and realize that the world of Aotreas is more than it seems. Full of high-stakes adventures, self-discovery, and love in all forms, A Sky of Emerald Stars follows the beginning of a revolution and the relentless fight for peace.

Rezensionen
"Mulford skillfully broadens the universe of their series, shifting focus onto humanity's role in the looming wolf war. Infighting and betrayal abound among the wolves, while steamy scenes and forbidden love add bite to the story. This will keep series readers on the edge of their seats." - Publishers Weekly

"The relationship between Calla and these performers becomes the most compelling part of the book, giving rise to questions about gender and the difference between a protector and a tyrant. Defeating evil is important, sure-but the real thrill is finding people who make you want to be your fullest self. It's lovely, life-affirming stuff." - Washington Post on A River of Golden Bones

"I was taken by the expert dismantling of the gender binary amidst a quest that is sexy, romantic, and heroic all at once." - Book Riot on A River of Golden Bones

"A steamy romance between Calla and Grae unfolds amid battles against monsters and dark magic, intertwined with Calla's fight against patriarchy and oppression and her burgeoning acceptance of her own genderqueerness. This series is off to an exciting start." - Publishers Weekly on A River of Golden Bones

"A beautiful journey of self-discovery and queer identity, filled with heart-stopping romance and page-turning adventure. A River of Golden Bones is a must read for fantasy and romance readers alike. I couldn't put it down!" - Cait Jacobs, author of Medievally Blonde

"I inhaled this novel. A River of Golden Bones by A.K. Mulford is a gorgeously written queer fairytale fantasy conjured with the bones of wicked worldbuilding and laced with decadent spice. Get ready to devour this wolfish tale." - Charissa Weaks, bestselling author of The Witch Collector
