“Character-driven fantasy that feels fresh again! Here is big-world fantasy, where our beloved tropes are made utterly fresh again. Strong writing and believable characters won my heart, but the fact that this book takes us far from the familiar pseudo-Celtic medieval land is what makes it a remarkable achievement.”
—–John Adcox, author of Blackthorne Faire and Raven Wakes the World.
The Watchers of Moniah
In the unique and dangerous world of Moniah, Princess Adana trains as a skilled Watcher warrior. But when her mother's shocking deathbed decree throws her into the midst of political turmoil and betrayal, Adana must face her greatest challenge yet. The traitor Maligon has returned, and with him, the threat of another devastating war. As Adana is sent to the allied kingdom of Elwar to wait for her ascension to the throne, she must navigate the treacherous waters of court politics and leave behind her warrior training. But amidst the luxurious gowns and strict protocol, she discovers unlikely allies and uncovers secrets about her past and her enemies.
The Watchers in Exile
Attacked as she travels home to Moniah for her coronation, Princess Adana struggles to hold onto her kingdom. Driven from her heavily guarded caravan by soldiers she previously thought loyal, Adana follows the lead of the royal giraffes and flees to a small farming village just inside the border of Moniah. Separated from each other in the attack, her betrothed, Prince Kiffen of Elwar, is forced in the opposite direction, and he leads the survivors of the battle to the Border Keep between the two kingdoms.
The Watchers at War
Adana and Kiffen retreat to the Border Keep like the refugees that swarm to them. With Maligon ensconced in Moniah and Kiffen’s stepmother controlling Elwar, the last of the four kingdoms has fallen to the traitor’s plots. All seems lost. Now they must place their trust in the one-time tavern wench, Shana, as she struggles to convince the Watchers and Monians that she is their true queen. Is her destiny an honorable one with fealty to Adana, the woman who gave her a taste of true freedom? Or treachery as the wealthy queen of all Moniah?
