Weight Of Her Crown: Conflict Of Truth
Desiring peace above all else, Queen Alaria is conflicted when it comes to condemning men to death.
Even those who deserve to die.
Disturbing news from a village in the north adds to the queen’s concerns of protecting her country from the wrath of the violent King of Restunia.
Amidst all expectations, and her duties as queen, she is distracted by a handsome soldier. Not only have his rash decisions put the entire kingdom at risk, the more she learns about him and his role in her family’s captivity, she wonders if he is trustworthy, or deserving of her love.
Weight Of Her Crown is the third book in The Welexia Series. Join Queen Alaria as she navigates the complicated realm of sovereignty. Love, loss, survival, and deceit continue in this richly painted saga set in a 14th century land.
A Daughter Rules: Owning Her Power
Queen Alaria, and her father, King Oshinor of Welexia, are doing all they can to help their people recover and thrive. Now that the tyrant, Traintor, has fled to Restunia, life is again worth living.
The king of Restunia, sworn enemy of Welexia, desires power over peace, and cannot be trusted. He despises Queen Alaria and will exploit whoever he needs to, including his only son.
A Daughter Rules, the second book in The Welexia Series, continues Alaria’s journey in another action packed story of betrayal, grief, and overcoming obstacles. Facing attacks from both Traintor’s delusional supporters and Restunia means she must keep those she trusts near and those she doesn’t, even nearer. Survival is still a priority, but now she must also rescue someone much closer to her, before time runs out.
Someone's Daughter: Will To Survive
She’s used to wealth and comfort. When evil ransacks her home, will this brave young monarch trade her life for those she loves?
Princess Alaria is desperate to shield her sisters. Pulled out of her bed by violent men during a coup, the thirteen-year-old royal still thinks quickly enough to shoulder the burden of protecting her younger siblings. But when a tyrant hurls their entire family into a hellhole of rot, vomit, and despair, she fears their fates are sealed.
Sensing death waiting hungrily in the shadows, Alaria grows up fast as she watches her loved ones slowly fade into the grave. And clinging tightly to the hope of survival and freedom, she makes an unthinkable bargain with their captor.
Can she snatch what’s left of her family from beneath death’s scythe?
Someone’s Daughter is the gritty first book in the Welexia historical fantasy series. If you like strong female characters, tense action, and richly detailed settings, then you’ll love Rhys Shaw’s unflinching roller coaster.
