Words of warning…words that come horribly true for a lonely, misunderstood young woman in a way that no-one could have ever believed possible. Plunged from a sheltered life of privilege into a nightmarish magic world, hunted and pursued by a terrifying foe whose very name is a byword for evil, she must find the strength and the knowledge to save not just herself but countless others…and the courage to face her past as well as her future.
Overview: “The Unclaimed Throne”
“Be careful what you wish for. You may just get it.”
For Auryn, a brilliant and unusually gifted young woman born into the ignorant and troubled world of the Dark Ages, these words have a particular meaning. Although she is born a princess into a sheltered life of privilege and wealth, Auryn is unhappily aware that she is an unwanted youngest daughter, especially when her parents had so desperately craved a son and heir. Regarded as strange and plain by most people, her social awkwardness, reclusive ways, and superior intellect are gravely misunderstood by her peers, who only see in her royal marriage potential. Finally, Auryn is forced into a hateful and loveless betrothal by her scheming father to his ambitious but cruel and uncouth neighbor, King Horan. Appalled by her fate, Auryn’s desperate desire for escape and self-discovery comes true in a way she had never thought possible…to read more about this amazing and enthralling epic – purchase a copy.
