Starra’s life could hardly be more idyllic. By day, she and her friends explore the streets of her hometown Fencer, and by night, she returns home to hear her parents’ stories of the long-foretold King.
But when growing tension between Fencer and the adjoining city Straitland threatens to upset Starra’s peaceful life, she embarks on a journey to find the legendary King before it’s too late to save the City-Twain.
With the help of her new friends Matt and Farren, will Starra be successful in her quest? Or will the King, once found, fail to be the hero she needs?

Domitian
Flavia is the nineteen-year-old queen of Domitian. Happily married to Marcus Octavian and expecting her first child, life couldn’t be any better.
But when Marcus is killed in a skirmish with the northern raiders who have been threatening Domitian for years, her city teeters on the brink of political disaster and she is pushed into a marriage of convenience with her brother-in-law Nathaniel.
As danger mounts and loyalties are strained to the breaking point, Flavia doesn’t know whom she can trust. Forced to rely on Nathaniel in their desperate attempt to save Domitian, she begins to wonder if there may be a chance of finding happiness after all.
A well-done, thoughtful book, especially for so young an author.
