❖ 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

Cover design by Avantika Singh (instagram: @_avxntika_) This is no tale of sparkly magic, sunlit meadows or glittering wish-granting faeries; no, our tale consists of blood curses, deadly forests and heinous, villainous wielders of the darkest form of magic. I remember watching these events unfold. It felt like a giant game of chess. I had to move some pieces and set plans into motion. Those who believed they were knights and bishops and queens turned out to be only pawns. Some of them were lost, as in any game and in the end all that remained was the king, standing alone atop a mountain of those who gave themselves for nothing. No, my dear reader, this is not a happy tale. So, brace yourself. You are about to delve into my world; a world where even the most innocent of souls can murder in cold blood, and those with the cruelest and most wretched hearts can soothe the pain of others. Adilah of Grend was not expecting to be stuck in the middle of a magical civil war. But when her father makes a deal he can't keep, there is only so much a girl can do... (Completed)

I looked over at my sister, who was asleep beside me. Her long golden hair was shining in the morning sun, which made me smile a bit. Even if mother and father were gone, I knew that we were going to be alright. I knew that together, nothing was too dangerous or too terrifying. Even if our parents weren't there to greet us, I knew that I had to stay strong for her, and she had to stay strong for me. How could we have known how wrong we were then? How could I have been so fearless at one time when all I feel now is fear? Everything we'd ever loved was gone, and we had nowhere to turn to. Our parents were dead, and our land was burned to ashes. That night, an enemy clan had raided our home and killed our people, setting everything on fire in the process. That had been the last straw. There was no coming back for me after that. There was nothing I or my sister could say that would make anything better. We were the last left alive of our entire clan, and there was nothing we could do. Nothing we could do but find somewhere else to live and stay alive, which was particularly difficult for me. I didn't care if I lived anymore.
