    "description": "In The Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone, Greg Keyes has crafted a brilliant saga of magic, adventure, and love set against a backdrop of clashing empires and an ancient, reawakened evil. Now, with The Born Queen, Keyes brings his epic to a masterly close, gathering the strands of plot and character into a stunning climax that both completes and transcends all that has gone before.\n\nThe Briar King is dead, and the world itself follows him to ruin. Aspar White, wounded and tired, must embark on one last quest to save the forest and the people he loves, but he has little hope of success.\n\nAnne Dare at last sits on the throne of Crotheny, but for how long? The Church, now led by the corrupt and powerful March\u00e9 Hespero, has declared a holy war against her, giving the king of Hansa the pretext he needs to unleash his vast might on the young queen and her unready army.\n\nBut Hansa is the least of Anne\u2019s worries. The Hellrune, war seer of Hansa, strikes at her through vision and prophecy. The Kept\u2013last of the elder Skasloi lords\u2013weaves his own dark webs. Anne\u2019s teacher and ally in the sedos world might also be her worst enemy, and Anne\u2019s own mounting strength compels her toward madness.\n\nSurviving these dangers and mastering her eldritch abilities are merely prelude to the real struggle. There are many\u2013some with power matching or even exceeding Anne\u2019s own\u2013who are willing to kill in order to seize control. For whoever sits upon the throne will have the ultimate command to bring about the world\u2019s salvation\u2013or its apocalypse.",
