The Drowned Queen

The Astral Queen Series: Book 1

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Sometimes, something so extraordinary happens that even the gods take notice.

After a century of servitude in the Duskhold—a hellscape meant for eternal suffering—a woman seeks death in a mystical sea, but is instead reborn with cosmic powers. She’s thrown into a dazzling Fae court, and must reclaim her memories and her lost love while navigating political dangers and the looming, wicked goddess who wants her for her own. Her quest for a second chance will either redeem her or shatter the fragile balance between worlds entirely.
