No queen is subservient.
For decades, the royal family of Cordisa has allowed the Queen of Hearts to dictate their rule. They have allowed the mad queen of Wonderland to poison their souls. To twist their minds. Not anymore.
The Princess of Cordisa, Valerie Madeline Jones, has lost anyone she has ever loved. Her father had aspirated the greedy disease of dementia and died. Her fiancé never recovered from a fatal head injury. Her loyal subjects have been devastated by the Queen of Hearts' increasingly harsh regulations.
Now a red queen has risen out of the ashes and blood of her former life. Now Valerie will lead the rebellion as her subjects prepare to take arms for the inevitable war. As Valerie navigates the dangerous political world of the royal court, and tries to differentiate enemies from allies, to differentiate diplomacy from passion, she covertly brews rebellious feelings into those loyal to the sovereign of Hearts. But Valerie is new to world of deceit, and she has not yet seen the dark depths the Queen of Hearts is willing to go to, to ensure victory. Will Valerie be able to deceive the great deceiver? Or will Valerie lose her head before she may wear her crown?
Revolution is rising in Cordisa.
For the Red Queen will reign.

The Queen of Hearts meets the gilded world of Marie Antoinette. A princess with a holy Gift. A kingdom hiding a dangerous secret. And a marriage meant to bring peace to a land with a violent history of war. Eighteen-year-old Ophelia Rosiers is a princess of Rosailles, and also the heir to a holy Gift that determined the fate of her queendom centuries ago. But now with her Gift locked away, she can only hear the whispers of the Angels her people revere. As a result, her sister has been named next in line, and she is being sent to their enemy nation, Garnette, in order to marry their Crown Prince and hopefully lead their countries into an era of much needed peace. Only when she arrives, she quickly starts to suspect her betrothed is not who she dreamed him to be. Stuck in a palace surrounded by gossiping courtiers and enemies at every turn, Ophelia's friends are few. Especially when one of her handmaidens turns out to have secrets of her own, turning what Ophelia has always believed about her destiny upside down. Desperate for a distraction, she finds company with Prince Pierre-her betrothed's younger brother-who has motives of his own. When betrayal lands Ophelia as Garnette's prisoner, she realizes her whole life she has been dictated by other people's lies. With peace shattered for good and Ophelia's fate left in her own hands, she does the one thing she has left-she takes back control, even if it means turning into the very monster her enemies make her out to be.

Moody gained invisibility and intangibility powers, too, and swore to use them for good in defending the reborn city as the superheroine Specter, alongside its new head, King Ryker, and his court: T.J., Logan, Ollie, and Sylvester. But as the Rusted Citadel struggles to escape the shadow of the Iron Kingpin's despotic rule and embrace its brighter future, a new threat has emerged. A movement called the Shattered Circle works to reignite the conflict, with the goal of making money off of both sides for their own gains. With methods such as blackmailing, weapon trading, and information bargaining, they seek to return the Rusted Citadel to ruin and flee with the spoils. Moody has been tasked by King Ryker with investigating and taking down the Shattered Circle, and only time will tell if she succeeds.....or if the Rusted Citadel's dreams of freedom and liberty were always meant to be a fantasy from the start. • Cover designed by @CastimentComplete

The Art of Courts and Lies (Book 1 in The Gifted Trilogy)
Ice flooded my veins as the realization of who he was hit me. It must have been evident on my face because the man in front of me let out a dark laugh. "Oh dear, you didn't realize you were talking to a royal, did you darling?" he crooned. Not just any royal. Kesserian Cinis. The recently coronated king and ruler over the Ember Court. I forgot how to breathe, my mind whirring as it tried to figure out how I could have been so stupid as to let this happen. *************************************************** Wren Heatherfield is on the run.
