The Shattered Lands

Sapphire arrives in Eriobis to discover that she is the princess the kingdom lost eighteen years earlier. A crown and a castle cannot supply the understanding she lacks of the country she is expected to inherit. Its magical history is full of gaps, and the answers offered at court do not resolve her doubts. Ashes, a shadow witch Sapphire has been taught to fear, may be the person best able to explain what has been concealed. Trusting her could threaten Sapphire’s position; refusing her could leave the princess trapped inside a false account of her own life. Attraction makes their uneasy connection still more complicated. This sapphic fantasy follows an unexpected heir through a kingdom whose secrets reach beneath its royal promises.
