She wants vengeance. He wants to fulfill a promise. The hive needs a queen, but will they accept her?Trapped in a dying world, Estefania of the Melitto clan allies with the Bee Keeper. But their goals are too different to co-exist. Limah serves Sonora, attempting to honour his promise to safeguard the last virgin queen in the bloodline. But Estefania doesn't want the throne.

She must face herself and her flaws in a battle which will determine the outcome for everyone.

As the dwindling survivors of the unnatural winter seek leadership in all the wrong places, Estefania must set aside the petulant princess and become the Bee Queen. Vengeance is coming. The death of the last bee queen. The end of everything. This is the second book in A Keeper's War trilogy.
