The King Slayer by Virginia Boecker
The Witch Hunter #2
June 14th 2016 by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
Magic, suspense, and political intrigue collide in this sequel to The Witch Hunter, perfect for fans of Graceling and the Grisha Trilogy.Former witch hunter Elizabeth Grey is hiding within the magically protected village of Harrow, evading the price put on her head by Lord Blackwell, the usurper king of Anglia. Their last encounter left Blackwell ruined, but his thirst for power grows stronger every day. He’s readying for a war against those who would resist his rule–namely Elizabeth and the witches, wizards, pirates, and healers she now calls her friends.
Having lost her stigma, a magical source of protection and healing, Elizabeth’s strength is tested both physically and emotionally. War always means sacrifice, and as the lines between good and evil blur once more, Elizabeth must decide just how far she’ll go to save those she loves.
In this sequel to The Witch Hunter, Virginia Boecker delivers a powerful story full of action, suspense, camaraderie, and romance.

All I can think about when I see this title is Jamie Lannister from Game of Thrones! Lol!
I haven't read this series yet, but it's definitely on the list! I actually really love this cover, even if it is really simply designed.
Okay, so, I actually didn't like The Witch Hunter, but I love this cover so much! I think I like it more than the cover of the first. <3 And I miiiight read this if everyone else loves it. 🙂 I hope you end up enjoying it, Stephanie! 😀
