So.
I've been hearing about this book for what seems like ages.
This book that a fellow blogger has been working on for what also seems like ages (maybe even longer to her).
A book that we are finally going to get to read and I'm very excited to read it.

Effigy
The survival of a once-mighty kingdom rests in the hands of
its young queen, Haleine Coileáin, as it slowly succumbs to an ancient evil
fueled by her husband’s cruelty.
A sadistic man with a talent for torture and a taste for murder, he is determined to burn the land and all souls within. Haleine is determined to save her kingdom and, after a chance encounter, joins forces with the leader of the people’s rebellion. She gives him her support, soon followed by her heart.
Loving him is inadvertent but becomes as natural and necessary as breathing. She lies and steals on his behalf, doing anything she can to further their cause. She compromises beliefs held all her life, for what life will exist if evil prevails?
Her journey leads to a deceiving world of magic, monsters, and gods she never believed existed outside of myth. The deeper she goes, the more her soul is stripped away, but she continues on, desperate to see her quest complete. If she can bring her husband to ruin and save her people, any sacrifice is worth the price—even if it means her life.
