The Queen Rises is a romantic fantasy novel set in a dystopian elven universe where a vengeful king stole all the magic from all the female elves. Fiana Willowbark sets out to free her father from prison for a crime he didn’t commit, but overtime realizes she may be the key to restoring magic back to the females once and for all.

This page-turning fantasy is the first in a series and includes a unique magic system, animal friends, mythical creatures, violence, a slow burn heart-wrenching romance, well-timed spice, found family, and deeper psychological themes of overcoming feelings of powerlessness, learning how to trust and depend on others (not just yourself), unraveling toxic masculinity and femininity, and finding the divine balance between the two.
