The Secrets of the Queen

Away from the splendor of Lapis’s royal court, Queen Lila walks a dangerous line. Her past is woven with secrets—some buried to protect the realm, others to ensure her own survival. But as tensions rise and whispers spread through the kingdoms of Lapis and Silva, the truth can no longer remain hidden.

Prince Darryn believed he was beginning to understand Lapis—its veiled politics, its shifting alliances, and the queen who once ruled it. As Lila’s secrets begin to surface, he realizes just how fragile that understanding truly is. The sinister plot that threatens the kingdoms has not faded; it has only retreated deeper into the shadows.

With alliances strained and loyalties tested, Lila must confront the consequences of the choices she’s made, while Darryn is forced to question who he can trust—and whether peace is still possible. In a kingdom built on secrets, the truth may be the most dangerous weapon of all.
