„Morgan Rice stworzyła coś, co zapowiada się na kolejny fantastyczny cykl powieści, który przeniesie nas w świat fantasy pełen męstwa, honoru, odwagi, magii i wiary w przeznaczenie. Morgan po raz kolejny udało się stworzyć silne postaci, którym kibicujemy na każdym kroku… To powieść, która powinna się znaleźć w biblioteczce każdego, kto uwielbia dobrze napisane fantasy.” -- Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (w odniesieniu do “Powrotu smoków”) Autorka bestsellerowych powieści Morgan Rice przedstawia nowy, porywający cykl powieści fantasy. 17-letnia Ceres, piękna i biedna dziewczyna z imperialnego miasta Delos, wiedzie ciężkie i bezlitosne życie wieśniaczki. Za dnia dostarcza wykutą przez swego ojca broń na pałacowe tereny ćwiczebne, a nocą potajemnie ćwiczy się z wojownikami, pragnąc stać się jednym z nich, choć żyje w królestwie, w którym dziewczynom zabroniono walczyć. Niebawem zostaje jednak sprzedana w niewolę i jest zrozpaczona. 18-letni książę Thanos gardzi wszystkim, co uosabia jego rodzina. Odrazą napawa go to, jak traktują poddanych, a w szczególności brutalne rozgrywki – Jatki, najważniejsze wydarzenie w grodzie. Młodzian – będący wspaniałym wojownikiem – pragnie uwolnić się od ograniczeń, które narzuca mu jego wychowanie, lecz nie dostrzega żadnego wyjścia z tej sytuacji. Gdy Ceres zaskakuje dwór swymi ukrytymi zdolnościami, zostaje niesłusznie wtrącona do lochu i skazana na gorszy los, niż byłaby w stanie sobie wyobrazić. Oczarowany Thanos musi podjąć decyzję, czy zaryzykuje dla niej wszystko. Wepchnięta w świat obłudy i śmiertelnie niebezpiecznych tajemnic Ceres szybko przekonuje się, że istnieją ci, którzy rządzą, i ci, którzy są pionkami w ich rozgrywkach. I że czasami bycie wybranym jest najgorszym, co może się przytrafić. NIEWOLNICA, WOJOWNICZKA, KRÓLOWA opowiada wspaniałą historię tragicznej miłości, zemsty, zdrady, ambicji i przeznaczenia. Pełna niezapomnianych bohaterów i trzymającej w napięciu akcji powieść przenosi nas w świat, którego nigdy nie zapomnimy i który sprawi, że na nowo zakochamy się w fantasy. Wkrótce ukaże się księga druga cyklu O KORONIE I CHWALE!
