A Kingdom Fractured

In a kingdom fractured by betrayal and bloodshed, loyalty is a dangerous game. A lost princess must navigate new worlds. Liyana, unwanted heir to the throne she never coveted, finds an unlikely ally in a passing enigmatic stranger. Now he may be her last hope.

As old alliances crumble and new enemies rise from the ashes, a reluctant warrior must navigate a world where honour can be a death sentence.

With war on the horizon and secrets buried deep within the kingdom’s past, the fate of The Central Realm and the Clans hangs by a thread. And some threads, once broken, can never be mended.

Immerse yourself in this fast-paced fantasy of magic, mayhem, and a love that will transcend the ages.

From the Author

A Note to the Reader

For those of us who long for a different kind of world — where magic and fantastical beasts leap off the page and stare you in the face. The love story in this book is for us old-fashioned girlies who still long for the reluctant hero and the less-than-perfect heroine.

She’s clumsy and chaotic, but also soft and kind. She is fierce and protective when necessary, and ever curious. She is like all of us women who society forces into a box. Don’t listen to them, girls. Keep dreaming, and keep doing whatever the hell makes your heart fly free.

That being said, I advise you to keep an open mind and hang on tight as we delve into the world I have created for you. Many hours of bloodshed and tears have gone into Liyana’s story — on and off the page, quite literally. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it.
