The Opal Queen

Join one princess as she embarks on a journey that will define her, her kingdom, and the legacy she's destined to create. "Because the lands themselves are rich with magic, deep in the earth, all people in Egriden are capable of magic." One might expect a princess's life to be a fairytale, but for sixteen-year-old Inise, it's not that easy. Every day is a relentless cycle of lessons and training, all to prepare the future queen. As if that wasn't enough, a terrible truth hangs over her—queens wield unimaginable magic, a gift this princess has yet to demonstrate. When tragedy strikes, her loyal friends help her escape the kingdom and her ambitious uncle Vischant. But the outside world brings no reprieve because in order to claim the throne, she must manifest four elemental stones and master their power. As Inise grapples with her purpose and duty, she encounters a found family better than one she could have ever dreamed of, including Pashendra, a mysterious fae who claims she and Inise have a special connection. Will Inise muster the strength to overcome her uncle's malevolent ambitions and stop the ruin of her realm?
