A Sacred Wrath
The Ballad of Queenmakers Trilogy
An old refugee sits across the wide sea, with the burden of her people's History on her shoulders. Looking out over the land of their once enemy, she records her people’s sacred stories-- for in the ancient land of Yula, Queenmakers and the Queens they forged are revered more than any.
One story, the old woman tells using her seer’s eyes— through blood, pain, and hope two women claw their way from obscurity. Winnika’s veins swim with a mystical power-- reserved for centuries only for the Order of the Mage, yet she is more than a Mage and therefore a dire threat. Fajra’s heart is torn between her Mother’s good legacy and the man who saved her from certain death, and raised her to be a ruthless leader. Finding each other among the chaos of a decaying country, they are faced with the choice to act, and in turn, to save their people. They must learn who the real enemy is and, more importantly, who they can finally trust.
