MEET PETRONELLA
Queen of Swords. Underdog. Survivor.
Petronella of the Falcons was never meant to rule.
A token queen, more comfortable amongst books than politics, she has spent her life overlooked, underestimated and dismissed.
But when betrayal destroys everything she holds dear, Petronella discovers that true strength does not lie in power or force.
It lies in the will to endure—and the courage to sacrifice.
the kingdom of epera
TRUTH HAS A PRICE
Epera is a kingdom of soaring mountains, ancient castles and the mysterious powers of the mind.
The Blessed wield extraordinary gifts granted by the Mage—telepathy, telemantry, farsight, illusion and transformation.
Yet every gift carries a responsibility, for power used selfishly can be taken away as swiftly as it was bestowed.
For centuries, the kingdom has prospered beneath the guidance of its Blessed.
But now, as resentment festers, darkness gathers and ancient prophecies stir, the people of Epera must rise and face their own shadows.
For the Mage has a question for them.
'What will you give to save the future?'

everything i love in fantasy fiction
If you love strong female protagonists, then you will love Petronella.
Excellent and gripping
made personal and plausible through character building and wonderfully strong interpersonal relationships… going to get the rest!!
intense and gritty
Great characters with all the ingredients for fantasy fiction. A powerful gripping story that is intense and gritty. Cazaly’s talent for storytelling is fabulous. I experienced an array of emotions as events unfolded and characters developed. Magic, both dark and light entwines
the story from beginning to end.
