A Royal Quest

2023

Two princesses…one crown. The royal twins have battled it out for almost eighteen years, but Princess Heather is firstborn and her ailing father’s first choice to inherit his throne. Princess Rose is not a bit pleased, and the Kingdom of Raspen is not in good shape. Before Heather takes on the kingdom responsibilities, she is determined to venture beyond the palace gates to see how her people really live. To do this, she chooses to disguise herself as one of them and, accompanied by her royal instructor and his son, sets out, hoping for a memorable adventure. Her well planned excursion quickly unravels when she is separated from her traveling party by bandits. ‘Aided’ by a handsome but mysterious young man, her journey grows even more perilous. By the time Heather makes it back to the kingdom, everything has been turned upside down by her sister’s rivalry and Princess Heather’s biggest battle has just begun.

A Royal Redemption

2024

Two princesses...one crown. The royal twins have battled it out for eighteen years, but Princess Heather was firstborn and now rules the Kingdom of Raspen. Meanwhile, Princess Rose is doing time in the dungeon. Caught in the act of usurping the crown—as well as her sister’s man—the second-born princess has time to think. After a failed scheme that sends her spiraling into despair, Rose has an epiphany. Before she can dwell on it, though, she learns that their kingdom might be in serious trouble, so with her sister’s help she dons a disguise and befriends a pair of cellmates, spies from an enemy country. Though Rose is only hoping to extract vital information from them, she ends up kidnapped when they make their escape. While Queen Heather tries to secure an alliance with a neighboring kingdom, Rose is forced into an adventure she never wanted, but which she’s determined to use for the good of Raspen and her sister. But with more enemies than friends and the threat of a wicked king hanging over her, Rose begins to worry that her redemption will do little to save her life.
