Ready or not, a queen's gotta do
what a queen's gotta do!
Princess Scylla's life at the castle is not all it should have been.
She's bullied, ostracized, and even poisoned⦠right under the nose of her doting father! But when the king and the rest of his family are murdered, Scylla - a reclusive, cranky misfit - collides with destiny.
Now Queen of Rellant, she never expected to face betrayal, the rise of ancient magic - or Keet, a nasty little tree-dwelling creature. Is he mythical or real? Scylla's not sure, but his whispers save her life.
Queen Scylla would like nothing better than to hand over responsibility to her capable and ambitious advisors.
But Keet warns of traitors in their midst and danger from the Kingdom of Gryor, whose corrupt rulers seek to expand their realm in any way they can - by murder, sorcery, or marriage.
It's not looking good for the small and peaceful Kingdom of Rellant⦠nor for Scylla!
All she needs is a strategy to save her kingdom and herself.
And when Keet is in trouble, it's up to her to save him too.
In this light fantasy tale spiced with fun, adventure and magic, author Wilma van Wyngaarden introduces a lively cast of characters and the Kingdoms of Rellant and Gryor.
