But enemies from foreign lands have attacked the kingdom, and Jes must find a way to unite the Commoners and Patrons to defend their home and all the people she loves.

The legendary queen-marshal did what everyone thought impossible: expel the invaders and build Chaonia into a magnificent republic, one to be respected - and feared. But the cutthroat ambassador corps and conniving noble houses have never ceased to scheme - and they have plans that need Sun to be removed as heir, or better yet, dead. To survive, the princess must rely on her wits and companions: her biggest rival, her secret lover, and a dangerous prisoner of war.

Publisher's Summary
In this thrilling sequel to World Fantasy Award finalist Kate Elliott's captivating young adult debut, a girl immersed in a high-stakes competition holds the fate of a kingdom in her hands.
Now a Challenger, Jessamy is moving up the ranks of the Fives - the complex athletic contest favored by the lowliest Commoners and the loftiest Patrons alike. Pitted against far more formidable adversaries, success is Jes' only option, as her prize money is essential to keeping her hidden family alive. She leaps at the chance to tour the countryside and face more competitors, but then a fatal attack on her traveling party puts Jes at the center of the war that Lord Kalliarkos - the prince she still loves - is fighting against their country's enemies. With a sinister overlord watching her every move and Kal's life on the line, Jes must now become more than a Fives champion.... She must become a warrior.

You feel as if you are ther in the mist of the action. The author draws you in making you feel like you are part of the story.
The reader keeps the voices clear and steady, allowing you to always distinguish between the characters.
A must read! Don't miss out on this. I actually read the first book, but will definitely purchase it here. I can't wait to listen to it and book 3!

Great sequel
It took me a little bit to get back to this story but was able to fall back into the story quickly. It picks up Jess's story at the court of fives and leads you deeper into a war that is full of betrayal! I can't wait to see how this unfolds in the next book!!

Intricate and absorbing
this second installment shows how our characters mature and I really enjoyed how they had to face very different problems than those from the first book.
(SPOILERS!)
I have to say understand why Jesse loves both parents but I'm very frustrated with her admiration to get father. I mean the guy is a coward for abandoning her family for ambition. I really detest him and used to detest his new wife but this book made me feel a bit sorry for her (I still detest the general though). It was pleasingly surprising that her sister has a relationship with her friend and wish to see more of that! I am all for more variety and this book provides not only with a strong heroine but her sisters are interesting too. I do hope their father dies or something (why do they try to respect him still?), or that if he meets with his former wife that she never takes him back. I'm curious about the baby too, intrigued by what part will it okay in the following book. I am very glad Kal grows up in this book, I was getting annoyed at him for being upset with Jesse, I mean his dreams vs her family's life, I think the choice is very obvious. This series is interesting and would recommend for those who like history and fantasy.

A well written, and well performed.
Fast paced and full of the complex issues of coming of age set to the backdrop of palace intrigue, military strife and always the cultural importance of the Fives.
