Her throne awaits... if she can live long enough to take it.
It was on her nineteenth birthday that the soldiers came for Kelsea Glynn. They’d come to escort her back to the place of her birth – and to ensure she survives long enough to be able to take possession of what is rightfully hers.
But like many nineteen-year-olds, Kelsea is unruly, has high principles and believes she knows better than her elders. Unlike many nineteen-year-olds, she is about to inherit a kingdom that is on its knees – corrupt, debauched and dangerous.
Kelsea will either become the most fearsome ruler the kingdom has ever known... or be dead within the week.
Combining thrilling adventure and action, dark magic, mystery and romance, The Queen of the Tearling is the debut of a born storyteller blessed with a startling imagination.

After the death of her mother, Queen Elyssa, young Kelsea Raleigh was raised in hiding, in the care of two devoted servants who pledged their lives to protect her. Long ago, Kelsea's forefathers sailed away from a decaying world to establish a new land free of modern technology. Three hundred years later, this feudal society has divided into three fearful nations who pay duties to a fourth: the powerful Mortmesne, ruled by the cunning Red Queen. Now, on Kelsea's nineteenth birthday, the tattered remnants of the Queen's Guard have appeared to escort the princess to the capital to ascend to her rightful place as the new Queen of the Tearling.
Though born of royal blood and in possession of the Tear sapphire, a jewel of immense power and magic, Kelsea has never felt more uncertain of her ability to rule. But the shocking evil she discovers in the heart of her realm will precipitate an act of immense daring, throwing the entire kingdom into turmoil—and unleashing the Red Queen's vengeance. Riddled with mysteries, betrayals, and treacherous battles, Kelsea's journey is a trial by fire that will either forge a legend . . . or destroy her.
Erika Johansen grew up in the San Francisco Bay area. She went to Swarthmore College, earned an MFA from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, and eventually became an attorney, but she never stopped writing.

Condition: Good. : En su decimonoveno cumpleaños, la princesa Kelsea Raleigh Glynn, criada en el exilio, emprende un peligroso viaje de regreso al castillo de su nacimiento para ascender a su legítimo trono. Simple y seria, una chica que ama los libros y el aprendizaje, Kelsea se parece poco a su madre, la vana y frívola reina Elyssa. Pero aunque puede ser inexperta y protegida, Kelsea no está indefensa: alrededor de su cuello cuelga el zafiro Tearling, una joya de inmenso poder mágico; y la acompaña la Guardia de la Reina, un grupo de valientes caballeros liderados por el enigmático y dedicado Lazarus. Kelsea los necesitará a todos para sobrevivir a una camarilla de enemigos que usarán todas las armas, desde asesinos con capa carmesí hasta la magia de sangre más oscura, para evitar que use la corona.A pesar de su sangre real, Kelsea se siente como nada más que una chica insegura, una niña llamada a liderar a un pueblo y un reino sobre el que no sabe casi nada. Pero lo que descubre en la capital lo cambiará todo, enfrentándola a horrores que nunca imaginó. Un acto de singular audacia arrojará al reino de Kelsea al tumulto, desatando la venganza de la tiránica gobernante de la vecina Mortmesne: la Reina Roja, una hechicera poseída por la magia más oscura. Ahora Kelsea comenzará a descubrir en quién puede confiar entre los sirvientes, la aristocracia y su propia guardia.
