Queen of Roses

Morgan Pendragon grows up in the shadow of her brother, the king. Rumor says fae blood runs in her veins, and her birthright was taken from her while she was still a child. She is promised to the goddesses once she comes of age, so her life has never felt like her own.

Then the king orders her to find a fae weapon of legendary power. Morgan sees the mission as a chance to slip the fate laid out for her. On the road she is drawn into a band of outcasts led by a dark, sharp-witted warrior whose fierce beauty unsettles her. Her feelings pull against her duty, and the group soon meets dangers worse than any they imagined.

A fae kingdom that mortals dread, long thought to have vanished, is rising again and means to take back what violence cost it. As Morgan glimpses the lies and mysteries of the fae world, she learns that the secrets in her blood make her a far greater threat than she ever guessed.

This is fantasy romance and the first book in a series. Expect magic, constant danger, morally gray characters and a slow-burn love story, with a kingdom heading toward war.
