Queen & Conqueror

How does one conquer a kingdom without spilling blood? You offer your hand in marriage to the king who killed your husband. Almira's father raised her in political cunning. Since childhood, she's prepared for this moment. She lays out the players one by one like pieces on a board. One. King Alton, the brother-killer. The spare heir who killed his brother for the throne. Two. The perfect seamstress. The people must admire a queen and welcome her with open arms even when she arrives with a deadly armada behind her. Three. The Queen's Red Guard. These warrior women have one purpose; to protect the queen at all costs. Even from her husband. Even from herself. Queen & Conqueror is the first book in an epic feminist fantasy series told from the perspective of the women who rule and shape the future. "Men will never be ready for women like us and it is not our job to ready them."
