queen of swords
She spent ten years believing she failed her kingdom.
She was wrong.
When Queen Petronella is condemned for failing to produce an heir, one desperate escape reveals a kingdom built on lies—and people who see in her the queen she has never seen in herself.
As Epera marches towards war and ancient truths begin to surface, Petronella must decide whether justice and mercy are enough to heal a kingdom ruled by fear.
Defeating a tyrant may reclaim a throne.
Healing a kingdom will require a different kind of queen.
