A Crown This Cold and Heavy: Kingdom of Lies, Book 3
The unimaginable has happened, And none of our lives will ever be the same.
Surrounded by enemies, I've never been further from my crown...
Or closer to death.
Amidst a betrayal we couldn't have anticipated, I'll do whatever it takes to find my way back to Lorian - before his fury lays waste to this continent.
Alliances are being forged and broken, our enemies are unifying, and Regner's spiders are closer than ever before.
We have only one chance to prevent him from attaining god-like powers and enslaving every human, fae, and hybrid across the four kingdoms.
Meanwhile, the human king believes I'm trapped here, yearning for my death, and waiting for Lorian to save me.
But Regner hasn't yet realized that I'll stop at nothing to free my people.
And he's the one who should be afraid of me.

I have been completely sucked into this series. Every book raises the stakes, but this one? It hits harder than the others. The world is brutal — filled with war, rebellion, torture, death, and absolute slaughter — and the emotional punches do not hold back.
There were two different moments that had me crying, which doesn’t happen often for me. The author really knows how to twist the knife when it comes to the characters you’ve grown attached to.
The tension throughout the story is relentless. Alliances shift, secrets unravel, and just when you think you know what’s coming… another twist drops. I kept thinking “there’s no way it gets worse” and then it absolutely did.
The romance is still there simmering in the background with a spice level around 🌶🌶🌶 (3/5) — enough to keep the tension alive without overshadowing the larger plot of war and rebellion.
If you like books with:
⚔️ High-stakes war and rebellion
🩸 Dark fantasy elements
💔 Emotional character moments
🌀 Twists that keep coming
you'll love this series!
At this point, I’m fully invested in these characters and their fate, and I honestly don’t know if I’m emotionally prepared for what the next book is going to do to me.
⭐ Rating: 5/5

This series just keeps getting better and better! I simply love this story and the way it is written. I love the characters and I enjoyed getting multiple perspectives in this one. I love Prisca but I am straight obsessed with Lorain. There are so many perfectly classic romantasy pieces to this and I’m eating it up. We are of course left on another cliffhanger so I cannot wait to get into the final book asap!
