A Queen Among Kings/ Epic Fantasy
In the fractured kingdom of Thaloria, where rulers rise and fall like the shifting tides, the game of power is played with blood and betrayal. War looms on every horizon. In the North, whispers of rebellion threaten the fragile balance. In the East, invaders carve through stolen lands, defying those who would stand against them. Within Vyreholm Citadel, treachery festers in the heart of the court, where crowns are won and lost in silence. But power is never given—it is taken. As old ghosts return to stake their claim and enemies press closer with every passing day, alliances will be tested, thrones will tremble, and the fate of a kingdom will rest on those who dare to outlast the storm. After all, how long can one walk among kings before they are forced to prove they belong?
