Kyra Gregory

She won't like who she must become to keep her throne. When Princess Sybelle's father died, leaving the peaceful kingdom of Lionessa for her to inherit, she never expected she'd have to fight a war to ascend her rightful throne. But King Nero of Evrad plans to seize her kingdom-either through forcing her to marry her son, or threatening to destroy everything her father worked so hard to maintain were she to refuse. Within weeks, Sybelle's inexperience is mocked and her sickly brother is caught in a political game meant to terrorise her into giving up what is rightfully hers. Her refusal to marry dissolves the peace treaty between the kingdoms, and Sybelle finds herself on the brink of war, abandoned, without a single ally willing to aid her. Bit by bit, she finds herself being pushed into unleashing a wickedness that a Queen must be capable of if she hopes to rule. But who will she become in her efforts to keep her throne?

Ascendant

Despair & Decision

They took them from their homes. They might not be the first to fight back. But can they be the first to win? When Skye is dragged away from home in broad daylight, along with a hundred others, she knows nobody is coming to their rescue. Brought to a place thought to have been uninhabited since the world first ended, they serve one purpose; to colonise the Epizon's reclaimed lands. Once able to live her life as she wished, even in secret, their every move is now watched, their days spent doing the will of the Governor, caught in the middle of a war between those that brought them there, and the people the land was stolen from. But abiding by the rules has never been Skye's strong suit and, before long, living beneath the rule of corrupt and violent wardens pushes her to find a way out. One way or another, she'll be free of this place-even if it means death. If you like headstrong protagonists, enemies to lovers, found family, and tales of rebellion, you will adore this intense, high-stakes series.

The Settlement's Cradle

The war continues... The conflict has ended. Queen Sybelle nears the end of her pregnancy, yet finds herself embroiled in another dispute that will dash her hopes of maintaining peace. As his ships are plundered and his trade is stifled, King Crios of Ludorum is at his wit's end and demands that Sybelle breaks her alliance with the pirates and puts their unlawful business to an end. The decision to do as he asks weighs heavily on her mind. Should she sever all ties, she risks instability for her people. Should she defy the order, she risks their chance for peace. Now, she finds herself torn between her desires and the fear of becoming a monster.

Atoned

The fight to keep what is hers continues... Fresh from her victory against King Nero of Evrad, Sybelle settles into her role as Queen and with not a moment to spare. A fleet from the Kingdom of Azura looms just outside the shores of Lionessa, inching closer and closer with each passing day. Upon landing on the sands of Lionessa, King Alessio offers Sybelle a chance to avoid the humiliation of defeat and to forfeit half of the newly-claimed land of Evrad to him. Still bitter over King Alessio's refusal to help her against King Nero in the early days of her reign, Sybelle declines, despite being troubled by the prospect of leading her people into another war.

Accustomed

Some wars aren't fought on battlefields... While Queen Sybelle rules her kingdoms and conducts politics from her palace in Lionessa, Gyles Arrer travels to Azura. Unsettled by the changes, the Azurians struggle with the strong presence of their longtime foes; the pirates that their new Queen has called her allies. Between friendships, old and new, the outbreak of the war with Ludorum and his own demons, Gyles is left with the task of maintaining Queen Sybelle's rule and holding an entire kingdom together.
