Magic creates fear.

Fear creates war.

Humans and Fae once lived harmoniously on the mighty continent Pheanixios, but the Fae quickly realized the power they held, and forced the Humans into submission. A war broke out, ending in a continent broken into two, severed by hatred. The Fae revels in magic, while the Humans have outlawed it.

As thousands of years passed, both continents witnessed decay. A relentless plague gripped the once-thriving lands, reducing mountains to rubble, silencing once-lush forests, and draining rivers dry. Animals transformed into savage beasts, and humanity faced a relentless onslaught of illness.

Arenna Steele is Queen of Brookworth, ruler of the Human Continent. Where her title holds no power, she finds herself trapped in the castle she once considered home—prisoner to an abuser she calls husband.

During a secretive tournament held by her husband, Arenna seizes a rare opportunity to break free from the shackles that bind her. Realizing that her sole chance of liberation lies within the enemy territory of Kingdom Worden, ruler of the Fae Continent. On the day of her planned escape, her world shatters in more ways than one. The brutal loss of a loved one unleashes an ancient, deadly power within Arenna, an ability unknown to her.

Surrounded by betrayal and heartache, Arenna betrays her kingdom and flees everything she once knew. In her journey, Arenna must navigate trials of strength and bravery, rebuild her shattered heart, and master her rare power that might be the key to saving her crumbling world.

A Queen’s Betrayal is the gory, heart-pounding, first book in the epic romantic fantasy series, Legends of Worldbinders.
