Fyia leaned against the battlements, her wolves coming to her side. She wiped and sheathed her dagger. 'Well, here's the thing, Perdes … I wouldn't have won if I'd challenged you to a fair fight.'
'Women have no honor.'
'You want those to be your last words?'
'My army will defeat you.'
'Last I checked, your commanders had surrendered, and were drinking with my generals in my war tent.'
'My people will never follow you,' he choked, blood leaking from his mouth. 'They follow warriors, kings, not little women.'
Fyia laughed. 'You're right, I'm no warrior. I am not tall and broad and formidable to look at. But turns out I can stick a dagger in a man's back just fine. Not to mention, I have a few assets you do not …'
'Witch …' He made a disgusting gurgling noise, and then his eyes fluttered closed.
'Careful, if the Fae'ch hear you, they'll curse your afterlife … they would never class me among their ranks.'
'You are nothing next to me …' He dragged in a breath. 'I am a king!'
'And yet, I have my army, yours too, my magic, and, oh yes, I have a brain—something you lack … something all of you lacked. You got fat and lazy, and I conquered five kingdoms. I believe I'm the only leader alive who can lay claim to that.'
He grunted, but no words followed.
Fyia crouched by his side and watched as he took his last labored breath, then reached down and removed his crown. She'd put it with the others … she'd cast it into the fiery pits of Hell.

on commence quand l'héroine a remporté la victoire : quel est l'intérêt ? où est l'enjeu ?
je n'aime pas non plus sa froideur, le manque de sentiments exprimés, que ce soit la satisfaction ou la peur d'échouer. on raconte de l'extérieur sans savoir ce qu'elle ressent.
Pas terminé. Peut-être que ça s'améliore à la fin mais je n'ai pas envie de persévérer c'est vraiment trop mal écrit.

Résumé
Action-packed from the start, with twists, intrigue, and dangerous politics, Kingdoms of Shadow and Ash is a sexy new fantasy series perfect for fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout, Sarah J. Maas, and Danielle L. Jensen.
Legend states that when a ruler worthy of the name reunites the Five Kingdoms, the dragons will return. Fyia has done just that, and she wants her dragons. But the dragon eggs are missing, her five war-ravaged kingdoms are unhappy bedfellows, and calls for her to marry grow ever louder.
Fyia hasn't fought so hard to hand her spoils to another, and her quest to find the missing eggs leads her to the powerful, reclusive King of the Black Hoods. A formidable man whose magical abilities match her own, as does his stubbornness.
When he refuses to help, she must find a way to make him, even if that means risking the frozen wilds with the infuriating King … even if it means risking the one thing she swore she never would: her heart.
