Synopsis

A realm touched and forgotten by magic.

The Magian Peninsula was once home to the Talented, those born with abilities beyond the natural scope of possibility. But their existence was rare, and soon, there were none left.

A young queen orphaned by disease.

Nearly three centuries later, newly crowned Queen Rosemary of Lecevonia is successfully balancing the needs of her people, the realities of leadership, and her own naivety in the aftermath of Atroxis, which left many children parentless, parents childless, and kingdoms kingless. She scoffs at the idea of Talents, simply dismissing them now as ancient fairytales.

A prince after her heart.

However, in her daunting task of finding a husband and king-consort to rule by her side, charming Prince Gryffin rides into the scene in the nick of time and re-introduces her to the world of the Talented as she confronts rising dangers that threaten her life and the strength of her kingdom.

In this twisting tale of love, loyalty, and long-forgotten legends, Rosemary learns that trust may come too easily as she struggles to protect her kingdom from a new, unexpected threat. Her inexperience may prove to be just as deadly as Atroxis.

About the Author

Ashley W. Slaughter was born and raised in south Louisiana, among sugarcane fields along the banks of the Mississippi River. She received her Bachelor's Degree in Biology from the University of Louisiana at Monroe in 2018 and worked as a wildlife biologist before pursuing her career as an author. Writing has always been a passion of hers, as shown through her near-to-bursting manila folder of short stories she'd written throughout grade school, and the COVID-19 pandemic has allowed her to rediscover this passion. She enjoys hiking, kayaking, spending time with her husband and pets, and, of course, reading.
