A Crown of Chains

In A Crown of Chains, the exiled queen's fate plunges beautiful young women in Florencia into a harrowing competition for the title of queen, where the dubious honor may lead to a grim life as kingsmaids or worse. Roxana Willows, a wingless fairy with the rare gift of mind-reading, is forced to suppress her true identity at her uncle's behest, fearing the cruelty of King Frederick. Caught between her obligation and her heart's desire, Roxana must navigate a treacherous landscape of political intrigue, forbidden romance, and the burdens of destiny in this imaginative retelling of the Biblical story of Queen Esther.
