Once a King by Erin Summerill
4.0
Love this series! I was so disappointed in a way when the second book in the series ended the way it did. I really liked King Aodren and shipped him and a certain other character (if you've read the series you know who I'm talking about.). But, alas, it was not meant to be. Now enter Lirra. She is cute, feisty, resourceful, strong, and yet feminine all at the same time. She and Aodren work together to solve the mystery of a potion that is rumored to be a wonder drug, but is also deadly. As non-Channelers begin blaming Channelers for the deadly potion, the peace Aodren is trying so desperately to attain for Malam is threatened.
It took a little while for me to get into because there is a lot of tournament stuff which for me made the book drag a bit, but once the relationship between Aodren and Lirra begins to grow and the mystery picks up, the book is hard to put down. Great YA Fantasy with no sex, some violence, and very little if any mild profanity (no F-bombs and such).
