'UTTERLY ENTHRALLING' Rebecca Yarros, New York Times bestselling author of Fourth Wing

The Bachelor meets The Hunger Games. Ten women. A deadly contest. Only one can win the Sun King's heart.

Lor has endured twelve long years of torment under the Aurora King's rule. Her only desire is to get free and pay him back for every moment of misery she's endured.

When a surprise release finds her in the hands of the Sun King, Lor is thrust into the spotlight as she competes against nine other Tributes for the role of queen. If she wins his heart, she'll earn her freedom and finally get her revenge.

But Lor doesn't belong in the Sun Queen Trials. Not only does she not understand why she was freed, she isn't a citizen of the Sun King's court. The other Tributes resent her presence and will stop at nothing to ensure Lor is wiped off the gameboard, permanently.

Now Lor must win, because if she loses, she dies. Or worse, she'll be sent back into the hands of the Aurora King.

This addictive TikTok fantasy romance sensation is perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Fourth Wing, Raven Kennedy and Jennifer Armentrout. Trial of the Sun Queen is the first book in a series with an eventual happy ever after.

Praise for Trial of the Sun Queen:

'Trial of the Sun Queen was truly a breath of fresh air and had me white knuckling the book until the very last page. I'm on pins and needles to see what happens next!' Hannah Nicole Maehrer, author of Assistant to the Villain

'Magical, action-packed, steamy, intricately plotted, laden with heart-wrenching moments and heart-pounding twists -- Trial of the Sun Queen is nothing short of a dark, fantastical thrill ride' Thea Guanzon, author of The Hurricane Wars

'I picked up Trial of the Sun Queen and was hooked from the very first sentence. This world is gripping, the plot exciting, and I loved the main character so much that I was rooting for her from the start. Nisha created a series that is addicting and visceral, with the perfect amount of spicy romance. One of my all time favourite fantasy romance reads' Raven Kennedy, author of Gild

Jamie’s review

Here is Erica and I's text thread while buddy reading this series:

"OMG SO GOOD" "Love Lor and Nadir" "Kind of ACOTAR coded" "Tamlin vibes!! 🚩" "Kind of copying Zodiac Academy" "HATE the end of book 3" "Ugh I'm annoyed" "Book 4 is hard" 🤭

I really loved this series until the last 10% of book 3 and then things just went downhill for me. Nadir is top tier 🔥 Lor is impulsive and violent so naturally I love her. But I had a hard time caring about all the ancestor POV's. Every time it was a Rion chapter, I was like 😴😴😴

I mostly enjoyed this series, even if it felt like dejavue from other series and even if the magic system never really made sense. If you want a somewhat predictable romantasy with all the main ingredients, this will fit the bill!

Erica’s review

Welp - see Jamie and my text thread above and that sums it up! It literally starts out SO strong and the opening line is "Bitch stole my soap!" Um - SOLD! This has all of our favorite tropes and also is like if Hunger Games and The Bachelor had a little book baby. Lor is a top tier FMC and Nadir is yum! But like Jamie said - the POV would weirdly switch and I would hate it and start skim reading and be annoyed. I just didn't want that POV and didn't feel like we needed it.

I did feel like it took a lot from other popular series - but LBH….it's kind of hard not to these days. I was SO excited when I started this series and had high hopes, there really is a lot of great stuff in here, but it fell flat for me at the end. It's a completed series so 👌 and a nice little 4 booker and if you don't have a ridiculous TBR or only read completed series (sigh….my good old days), pick this up and give it a go!
