❖ QUEENKILLER, KINGMAKER Book 1 ❖ Feudal Southeast-Asia filled with magic, daemons, and a royal conspiracy. This is Isla's quest for the truth, and her slow spiral into becoming her very own worst nightmare. When the gods ascended thousands of years ago, they left behind the divine gift of theurgy. Its powers still echo amongst men, but run fiercer yet in the blood of kings and queens. And one of them will stop at nothing before Isla is dead. A betrayal lures her out of refuge and into her journey home, where she must unmask her enemies before they unmask her. The theurgy that she has had to keep hidden for many years can be her greatest ally or her most lethal foil. Only her wits can guide her through the dangerous politics of the Surikh court. But amidst the plots and schemes bubbling around her, she uncovers something far more sinister than the identity of her enemies. Something that can change her entire life; indeed, entire kingdoms. ↝ this work contains violence, profanity, and sexual references ↜ ↝ Winner of Wattys 2016 HQ Love Award ↝ Winner of FANTASCI's first season Chosen One awards ↝ Winner of The Cryptic Awards 2018 ↝ Featured in Fantasy as of 18-01-2017 ↝ Wattpad Editor's Pick January 2021

Danger...Deception...Death Can she ever escape the vicious cycle? "The moment I was born, my father walked outside and screamed to the heavens for the mere reason that I was a girl. When he came back, he took me in his arms, looked straight into my innocent eyes, and told me, 'Hush now, child. For this day you are my son, and no son of mine will bawl like a girl.'" Sixteen-year-old Amachi Junichi is the only one still alive who knows that she's a woman. Struggling to hide her secret to preserve her family's name along with the clan she leads becomes harder with each passing year. It doesn't help when her general Igarashi Ryuu seems to know there isn't something quite right about her. However, when the Amachi clan is threatened by those both within and without, can Jun risk her secret to save those she's sworn to protect?

Being a second wife is rather like learning to perfect a set of aerial maneuvers. There are seriously complicated stunts involved: trapezing around the first wife, learning when to appear and disappear at exactly the right moments, tolerating your mother in law, enduring the concubines, and getting the husband in your bed. No one expects to be a second wife. No one does.

Bloodshed...Birthright...Betrayal. Can he ever discover the truth? "The first and only time that I dared to call Igarashi Sakura 'Mother', she placed a hand across my mouth and pulled me close. For a long moment, she was silent, no part of her moving except for her chest and the tears that fell from her eyes. Finally, she leaned close to my ear, whispering, 'Swallow those words, Kazuhiko, for your mother is not me. She died years ago, and the moment someone hears you call me that, all of our lives shall be forfeit.'" The young Lord Amachi Kazuhiko never questioned why his father's once-loyal general and his wife raised him. He never questioned why the last of his father's advisers was given control of the clan until he came of age and not one of his dead mother's brothers. That is until he returns from battle to find his not-mother Sakura has been captured...on the battlefield. Setting off on a journey to help Ryuu rescue his wife awakens questions that Kazuhiko never knew existed, and he begins to seek answers. Where did he truly come from? Why did the general betray his father? How did Sakura come to be on the battlefield? And what was with the girl that looked eerily similar to him? The truth may set him free, but it may also kill him in the meantime. Book Two of the Kakureta Hana series All Right Reserved
