Four Trials. Five Hundred Contenders. One Winner. The prize? The throne of Regulus. I never wanted to be queen, yet I find myself swept up in the competition. I never wanted a man, yet I find myself distracted by three of them. I never wanted people's gratitude, yet they're cheering my name in the streets. Warrior. Defender. Diplomat. Leader. The four key qualities of the True Queen of Regulus. And I have to prove that I have them all. All I ever wanted was to become the Sergeant of the Watchers for the busiest district in Regulus—Adhafera. But The Hunt has begun and the desert Queendom is running out of water. Hundreds of women enter and I unwillingly throw my name into the competition. The only other contender who has a chance of beating me is a known cheater. I have to select three advisers, which is a good thing, because there are only three people I trust enough to join me. Stryker, my childhood best friend and lover, who also happens to be the King of the Night, Master Thief. Tyson, my training patrol officer and a massive thorn in my side. And Leander, the Head Councilman's son. Now all I want is to become the True Queen of Regulus, blessed by Leo to rule, and to bring water to the people. If only Leo would give me his Mark. The Sun Queen is Book 5 in the Royal Celestials standalone shared world, a zodiac-based series, and represents Leo. This is a medium-burn fantasy reverse harem romance that can be read as a standalone.
