The Throne of Gold - Story Description
For centuries, the Throne of Gold had belonged only to men.
Across the twelve kingdoms of Juba, tradition was law, and the law was clear: a woman could advise a king, serve on his council, or rule a household-but she could never wear the crown.
Then King Armstrong III broke the tradition.
As age and illness weakened the great king, he named his only daughter, Regina, as the rightful heir to the Throne of Gold. But Regina was still too young to rule, so Armstrong entrusted the kingdom to his younger brother, Desmond, until she came of age.
Four years later, Regina returns to claim what was promised to her.
But Desmond has grown comfortable with the crown.
He refuses to surrender it.
What begins as a dispute over succession soon threatens to tear the twelve kingdoms apart. With five kingdoms standing behind Desmond and seven pledging their armies to Regina, Juba is dragged into a war that will determine not only who wears the crown-but whether centuries of tradition will survive.
Regina knows she is fighting for more than a throne.
She is fighting against a system that says she is unworthy simply because she was born a woman.
And if she loses, the Throne of Gold may never belong to her.
But if she wins, Regina will become something Juba has never seen before:
A woman upon the Throne of Gold.
A queen who did not inherit her place quietly.
A queen who fought for it.
The battle for Juba has begun.
