"Assassin Queen, the third book of Anna Kashina's Majat trilogy continues to thrill and titillate with its heady blend of fantasy romance and battle arts. It isn't about love - but it is! But it isn't! But sometimes swordplay is foreplay, a kiss can be a debilitating blow, and the battle of the sexes spills onto the battlefield. The trilogy's heroes Kara and Mai, the elite assassins madly in love, are simply irresistible!" - J. M. Sidorova, author of The Age of Ice "Epic fantasy readers will love this action-packed adventure of elite warriors and romance!" - Amy Raby, author of the Hearts and Thrones series "Anna Kashina has created a magically enthralling world of extraordinary warriors - female ones, too! - bound by extreme codes of honor, scholars dedicated to preserving ancient mysteries, and crew of stalwart heroines and heroes. Set against a sweeping political backdrop of warring kingdoms and religious faiths, the books of The Majat Code hit that sweet spot of excellent world-building for fantasy readers and a poignant romance payoff in the end. Love this series!" - Jeffe Kennedy, author of The Twelve Kingdoms trilogy "This book was the most unique reading experience I have ever had in decades of reading.
