The Poisoned Blade, book 2 of the Court of Fives series by Kate Elliott
Now a Challenger, Jessamy is moving up the ranks of the Fives--the
complex athletic contest favored by the lowliest Commoners and the
loftiest Patrons alike. Pitted against far more formidable adversaries,
success is Jes's only option, as her prize money is essential to keeping
her hidden family alive. She leaps at the chance to tour the
countryside and face more competitors, but then a fatal attack on her
traveling party puts Jes at the center of the war that Lord
Kalliarkos--the prince she still loves--is fighting against their
country's enemies. With a sinister overlord watching her every move and
Kal's life on the line, Jes must now become more than a Fives
champion.... She must become a warrior."With strong characters and vivid worldbuilding that refuses to oversimplify individuals, cultures, and the opposing forces they represent, this sequel to Court of Fives (2015) blends emotional intelligence, passionate idealism, and realpolitik in a plot ending at the cliff's edge of revolutionary change. At once nuanced and thrilling--a worthy sequel."
