The Queen of Kings

A crown of Iron. A kingdom of Stone. One young queen to end a tyrant king.

In brokering a treaty with a foreign country, Averlee Mendoza, the Queen of Castiron, travels to Arystonia to marry its Crowned Prince. Unlike her illustratious Iron Court, the Kingdom of Stone proves to have more cracks forming in it foundation than first predicted.

Although, the alliance has been forged her loyalties to the king and her new betrothed are not as she portrays. The more ugly truths she discovers the harder it becomes for Averlee to overlook to stay on task. With her growing impertinence the King begins to take interest in challenging her to see whom will bow to who. Averlee must take greater care to balance on the sharp blade of lies and treachery to keep both her head and crown. One wrong move and she could lose both.

Complications arise when her lies and masks lead her to a young peasant that harbours as many secrets as she. But her arrival brings hope to the people of the oppressed nation. Rebellions form and the countrymen become divided on sticking to what has always been and what could be.

Change is coming as is the unpredictable reign of the Mendoza Queen.
