Publisher's Synopsis
Referred to by readers as 'an LGBTQ Game of Thrones', that will appeal to fans of The Wheel of Time, Priory of the Orange Tree, and the Farseer Trilogy, Traitors of the Black Crown seamlessly ties political intrigue with the right dash of action and a beautiful sapphic on page romance to tie it all together.
"Traitors of the Black Crown is my new favorite fantasy series! I loved this book and I can't wait for the sequel. It's so much more than the novelty of a F/F story with a cross-dressing knight. The depth of the characters and the rich history draws the reader in immediately and doesn't let go until the very last word." -Shawna Barnett, author of Windfall.
"I simply cannot sing my praises of this book loudly enough. Every aspect of Traitors of the Black Crown was superb, and this is easily one of the best books I have read in 2021." -Anna Joy
Three women will betray the black crown. A Knight. A Duchess. A Queen.
Raena Schinen narrowly escaped when the Queen's guard murdered her entire family. If Raena's survival is exposed, she'll be next. For fifteen years Raena has hidden as a male Knight, "Sir Rowan", consumed by her vengeful desire to assassinate the Queen.
The moment Raena is close enough to exact her revenge, she is unexpectedly exiled to a foreign land. There she serves the common-born Duchess Aven Colby, whose suspicious kinship with the Queen further threatens Raena's delicate secrets.
Just as they become united in a common goal to curb a looming invasion, unexpected heat and romance blossoms between "Sir Rowan" and Aven. The peril demands they set out on a journey to form clandestine political alliances, risking the Queen's wrath, and drawing Raena and Aven closer together.
But no one in the kingdom could have imagined the sinister foe rising from below the surface. In order to save themselves and those they love, Raena, Aven, and the Queen must recognize who are the oppressors and who will unite against the Black Crown.
