Description:

The Queen’s Rising

Brienna is an arden, a student of the five passions – art, music, wit, dramatics, and knowledge. On the summer solstice of her seventeenth year, she hopes to become mistress of the passion – one who has mastered her area of study. However, Brienna knows she was not granted a place at her passion-house due to talent, like her arden-sisters, but because someone wished her hidden. She has never learned her father’s identity, only that her mother was Valenian, from the land of elegance, etiquette, and learning, while her father was Maevan. Brienna has never set foot in Maevana, a wild place proud of its ancient heritage of magical warrior queens, now suffering under a tyrannical king.

Then Brienna begins to have visions: inherited memories of a long-dead Maevan ancestor who hid the legendary Stone of Eventide. If found, the rightful queen of Maevana can be restored to the throne, and Brienna has the power to do it. Swept into a dangerous new life of secret alliances, generations-old enmities, deep family secrets, and smoldering first love, Brienna must ask herself what is stronger: the bond of chosen family or that of blood.

The Queen’s Resistance

Brienna and her new family have restored the rightful queen to the throne of Maevana. Now begins the difficult task of uniting the land’s fourteen proud, rebellious houses and ensuring justice is served to the Lannons, the tyrannical monarchs who ruled over Maevana for years. Brienna is fast becoming Queen Isolde’s most trusted counselor, and her love for Cartier deepens daily. However, there are those who do not accept Brienna, unable to see beyond her past, while some remain loyal to the Lannons and would do anything to tear the new queen down. When Brienna discovers the true, shocking identity of someone within the castle, it threatens everything she holds dear.
