About the Book
Book: Lethal Kings (The Fae Dynasty Book Two)
Author: Victoria McCombs
Genre: YA Fae Fantasy
Release date: November 12, 2024
You’ve been warned many times, you cannot trust the kings . . . The old queen is dead, a new queen is in play, and the realm has descended into darkness. For the first time in history, a queen has rejected the game. Eliza will start her reign with no alliances while Althea must fight to save her tenuous bond with the king who cannot love. Her relationship threatens to break, but Althea’s attention becomes divided after receiving a few harrowing clues connecting her past and the game at hand.
Before she can find answers, a mysterious fae appears promising the power of the seventh king to whoever can solve a series of riddles, leaving the fae realm in shambles as they race to come out on top. Althea has one year left. New alliances are forged. Old stories come to life. She must make her move, or the fate of the queens will consume her.
My Review:
Lethal Kings, book two in The Fae Dynasty series is one you will definitely want to read if you like fantasy books. It draws you in with the addition of Eliza, the new mortal queen, who just so happens to be in love with Thea’s brother. There is an undercurrent of mistrust and secrets that you’re never quite sure who Thea should trust.
This story kept me engrossed from page one to the final sentence. I was surprised by the resolution, but it was perfect! I highly recommend reading, even if you do not typically read fantasy. The complex plot, flawed characters, and twists and turns make this an excellent book. You will want to read Mortal Queens first in order to understand this story.

More from Victoria
This book came differently to me than my other ones.
It was less plot and structure, and more—what kind of book do I want to write?
I wanted riddles for them to solve, which created the Gamemaster character. I wanted a healthy family aspect, which began the process of repairing the relationships I’d burned in book one. And I wanted a character who knew exactly what she wanted and never waivered from that. Other scenes came from these wishes, like the chess game where the players are the chess pieces, and the War of Hearts played in the labyrinth.
Together, I think it blended nicely, and I can’t wait for readers to get ahold of it!
