❖ 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

{A Wattpad Featured Book} *** Her heart or her people. Only she can decide. Hated, cursed, outcasted. It was Eleena Asterin's life ever since she was blamed to have betrayed her village. So when she is offered a task to earn back her honour and pride as well as her family's safety, she takes it. But to do so, she must complete the trials bargained with the village Elders, and unknowingly, it comes with an unexpected twist ... Drawn into a magical world for crossing the border which kept faeries and humans at peace for centuries, Eleena struggles to search for answers while fulfilling her mission, but most importantly, survive. The faeries are not what the humans think they are, especially after their Imperial Lord sparks an ember in her empty heart. Unbeknownst to her, as Eleena's feelings for the Imperial Lord begins to stray her off course, a war brews behind her back. Her choice could bring the faeries to their knees, or it could severe the ties with her kind forever. That is, if the faeries don't kill her first. *** Amazing cover made by @ShreyaDesigns Stunning character aesthetics and character banners made by @NiaGraphics Magnificent book banner made by @bellasbub Spectacular map made by @MelodyKingWriter Slightly based on ACOTAR by Sarah J.
