The Queen of Ruin

She has the power to save the realm. Or end it. She hasn't decided yet.




Lacey Barker is on the run, hunted for a power she didn't even know she had. She's never been more than ordinary. But when she discovers that her godfather has been secretly dosing her with a potion that suppresses magical ability, she can't be sure who-or what-she is.




Now, the rulers of Gryfel want her dead. Her powers mark her as a descendant of the deposed monarchy and give her a tenuous claim to the throne. Lacey doesn't want to be queen-but the ruling government, the Elderon, aren't willing to risk it.




Escaping arrest lands Lacey in the hands of a magical cult who want to unbind her powers and use her as a weapon in the brewing revolution. Her powers could liberate magic and end a tyrannical rule. Or she could end up dead like the last queen. And in a realm ruled by fear, knowing what's right and who to trust won't be easy.
