A duchess denied her throne.
Her council plotting behind closed doors.
Can an inexperienced heiress uphold her family’s legacy?
Kireane Birghiten is powerless. Ready to fulfill her oath to her long-gone father, the eager duchess-to-be is trapped under the crushing oversight of her all-male council who resist her ascension to the throne. Just when she uncovers a law that could grant her access to her rightful position, a looming marriage proposal threatens to suppress her new-found authority before she has a chance to find her stride.
With a growing list of enemies, Kireane redoubles her efforts to bring order to her duchy as assassination plots threaten to remove her from power–permanently. But with few allies, Kireane fears her opposition may be right after all–maybe she isn’t fit to rule. With all strategies exhausted and the king’s arrival on the horizon, can Kireane find within herself her worth as a leader, and keep a Birghiten on the throne?
Hi I'm Danny, author and Christian creative. If you're looking for clean speculative fiction that has meaning, you've come to the right place! Tired of getting halfway through a book and blundering across questionable content, or closed-door romances where I wished they had closed the door sooner, I write to provide readers with powerful stories of realistic characters, with content that is language-free, spice-free, and PG-13 or less. And when the God-character enters the story, I strive to make it as theologically sound as possible.

Fantasy provides readers a safe space to explore hard topics that, when they return to the real world, can say "that was not so different from reality; maybe I should live that way too."

I couldn't put this book down. The characters are well-developed, and I was able to feel their emotions through the descriptions. ...It carries a beautiful story with a powerful message. 4 out of 4 stars.

Christian Supernatural Suspense series
If you don't feel a twinge of terror when you think of the Devil, you don't understand that he prowls like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour; and if you don't still have the courage to face him anyway, you don't understand the power of the Holy Spirit. That is Christian Suspense.
