TSAR'S GUARD PARADE: Ten Reasons I'm Excited For The Book + #GIVEAWAY


Hello and welcome to my stop on the Tsar's Guard Parade! I am super excited about THE CROWN’S GAME by Evelyn Skye which is releasing in May 2016 that I wanted to help spread the love! You can see the details about the book below, along with ten reasons I am really excited about this book, PLUS you can WIN AN ARC at the end of this post! Stick around for all the good things.

Let's learn more about the book...

THE CROWN'S GAME

Author: Evelyn Skye
Series: The Crown's Game #1
Publisher: Balzer + Bray
Publication Date: May 17, 2016

Summary:
Vika Andreyeva can summon the snow and turn ash into gold. Nikolai Karimov can see through walls and conjure bridges out of thin air. They are enchanters—the only two in Russia—and with the Ottoman Empire and the Kazakhs threatening, the Tsar needs a powerful enchanter by his side.

And so he initiates the Crown’s Game, an ancient duel of magical skill—the greatest test an enchanter will ever know. The victor becomes the Imperial Enchanter and the Tsar’s most respected adviser. The defeated is sentenced to death.

Raised on tiny Ovchinin Island her whole life, Vika is eager for the chance to show off her talent in the grand capital of Saint Petersburg. But can she kill another enchanter—even when his magic calls to her like nothing else ever has?

For Nikolai, an orphan, the Crown’s Game is the chance of a lifetime. But his deadly opponent is a force to be reckoned with—beautiful, whip smart, imaginative—and he can’t stop thinking about her.

And when Pasha, Nikolai’s best friend and heir to the throne, also starts to fall for the mysterious enchantress, Nikolai must defeat the girl they both love . . . or be killed himself.

As long-buried secrets emerge, threatening the future of the empire, it becomes dangerously clear . . . the Crown’s Game is not one to lose.
