After the fall of the Isel Queen, kingdoms clash over power and the magic-laced gems that could decide their future.
A warrior uncovers treachery within his allies. A prince, threatened with a forced marriage, longs for freedom even as betrayal closes in. A debutante, newly freed, is swept into court intrigue and perilous enchantments.
Together, their choices could alter the fate of kingdoms—and determine whether peace or war will reign.
War has been avoided, but at what cost?
A forced marriage. A shattered warrior. An ambitious enchanter walking a razor’s edge.
As political tensions rise, Markus, Amabel, Basial, and Fazune must navigate fragile alliances and dangerous truths before everything they love is destroyed.
Imagine being given a chance for revenge with the backing of an army.
A prince, a knight-sorcerer, and a cursed witch must work together to bring down the court of the Sleeping Queen and restore the country’s balance.
But can Derek, Tannis, and Amabel see beyond their own needs to join forces? Will they atone for the past or will they fail not only themselves, but their families and their world?
A little bit about me:
Devon Gambrell writes dark epic fantasy with dragons, messy politics, and morally questionable magic. She also runs All Call Indie and somehow keeps two teens alive while writing three novels at once. If you like strange lore, witchy vibes, and bookish chaos, you’re in the right place.
