The Forge Queen

2021

When Hephaestus marked me to be the next Queen of Vulcan, he also marked me for death. My father has ruled our lands while awaiting the next Queen. He was meant to uphold peace and prosperity—and then rejoice and step down when she was marked. But he had no intention of giving up the throne. He wanted to murder all the Queens. Even his own daughter. He wanted me to be beautiful, but useless. Elegant and voiceless. Pliant and submissive. Too bad for him—I'm none of those things. And I'll show him that a True Queen bows to no one. My mates and I will take the throne and restore balance to our lands. Our forge will burn bright once more. Nothing will stop us. Even if it means killing the man who raised me. This is war. The Forge Queen is the first book in the Royal Celestials, a zodiac-based series, and represents Aries.

The Storm Queen

2021

Murder and magic... a battle to reclaim the throne... Being a water bearer for my community was easy: just my trusty mule, Lily, and me against the world. But when a bard arrived in town weaving tales about the True Queens of Nephalia, everything changed. Those stories were supposed to be myths—tales told to children around a campfire. Yet, this man sung truths that had been buried long ago of the Dawnings that brought the queens to power and the magical patterns on their skin marking them as qualified for such a status. Marks… described exactly like the one that appeared on my arm the very same day. According to the legend, these women were hunted and killed by others—imposters—who claimed to have earned the throne. The warning was loud and clear. But instead of living in fear, I intend to compose a story of my own: with the help of three amazing men, I must save myself and the other marked women from such a fate. If we succeed, Nephalia will prosper. If we fail, the rekindled magic of myth will remain as such: nothing more than a tale told around a dying campfire.

The Trident Queen

2021

The Three are gathering. On the continent of Astari, the Zodiac Queendoms are run by twelve powerful women. Every hundred years, the Queens ascend to the constellations and new queens are chosen by the Gods. The chosen ones are marked by their Gods and receive divine tools called astrals to help them channel the magic of Astari into their queendoms. This period of rising queens is called the Dawning and sometimes it doesn't go smoothly. This is one of those times. In the island Queendom of Luhaera, Shasa Naehadrian is trying her best to live a simple life as a sea sponge farmer, but then the war over the next queen takes the lives of her parents and nearly hers as well. She is saved by a merman, one of the Children of Pisces, who tells her that he was sent by Pisces himself to protect her as his chosen queen. Mourning the loss of her parents, Shasa wants only one thing—vengeance—and she refuses to accept Pisces' Mark or his astral—the Trident—until she has it. But the further she wanders from the path to the throne, the closer she gets, drawn to her fate by magic, her god, and the love of the three men destined to rule beside her.
