The Rodasia Chronicles

Gwyneth Blacksman was content to live comfortably on her farm, but a long-held secret changed her life forever. Thrust into a role she didn't want or ask for, Gwen must face the facts. Will she step up and be who her people need her to be? Or will she wilt under the pressure of politics, schemes, and a looming war? The emperor of Devin offers her a way to avoid the bloodshed that is sure to come, but his offer is disingenuous at best, a lie at worst.

Married to a stranger, her country on the verge of destruction, can Queen Gwyneth Jada avoid catastrophe? Charles is captured, and the Speaker of Highland has double-crossed her. Gwen is faced with mounting pressure from within and without her kingdom. Rodasia is in the brink of collapse, and the Emperor of Devin proposes a Summit to discuss the future. But when betrayal comes from all sides, Gwen doesn't know who she can trust.

Queen Gwyneth Jada seems to be facing insurmountable odds as the Devinian hordes descend on Parr. Emperor Nicholas is coming for her throne personally, intent on making Rodasia part of his vast Empire. Yet shocking news brings hope: Lacy is not the only Shade. But Gwen isn't sure the small army of brand-new Shades will be enough to turn the tide of the war.
