From USA Today Bestselling Author Aileen Erin comes the fourth book in the Aunare Chronicles
Amihanna di Aetes has finally accepted her place in the Aunare world. In a matter of weeks, she'll be their High Queen, but no matter how hard she tries, she finds that she's always doing the wrong thing. At least that's what the High Council keeps telling her...
There's only so much rejection a girl can take, which means she's spending her afternoons trying to get out of High Council meetings. And yet, every time she leaves the council room, she sees the disappointment on her father's face, and worse, on Lorne's face. It pains her, but she can't say what they want her to say.
The council is refusing to see the truth. War isn't just upon the Aunare -- they're about to lose.
Training her guards to invade Earth is a much better use of her day. She spent too much time hiding, obeying, forcing herself to do what she had to do to survive.
She's used up all her pretending and can only be who she is. A fighter. A leader. A warrior.
When SpaceTech attacks the Aunare colonies, she'll do what needs to be done--she'll fight to defend the Aunare alone if she has to. Because Amihanna is a di Aetes. She'll never give up. Not until SpaceTech is dismantled and Jason Murtagh is dead.
Amihanna isn't the queen the Aunare want. But she is the queen the Aunare need.

Excerpt
War was here. It was only a matter of time before I officially declared it. My only hope was that in this brief window while I tried to rally our allies, Amihanna was allowed a moment to feel safe and secure. To grow her voice as a leader of the Aunare. And also give her enough time to heal from the thirteen years of horrors she'd had to endure.
She didn't know that's what I had been doing, and I was sure she'd be annoyed or angry at me for it, but this time was my gift to her. These few weeks of peace were hers so that she could breathe, and during that little bit of peace, I'd seen her grow more and more confident in being Aunare. I wanted that for her. I wanted to give her that, even if she'd hate me for it. Because things were going to get bad and dangerous very, very soon.
