North Queen: Crowns, Book 1

About this book

Princess Norah Andell is the lost heir to the kingdom of Mercia, a realm ravaged by a decade-long war against the malevolent Shadow King. After being hidden away by her father to escape a dark prophecy, Norah is eventually discovered three years later—alive, but stripped of all memory of her identity and her royal burden. She returns to a kingdom on the brink of collapse, where she must navigate a treacherous political landscape. Standing by her side is Alexander Rhemus, the fierce and loyal commander of the Mercian army. While Alexander has spent years protecting the realm and holding onto the hope of her return, he faces a heartbreaking reality: the woman he loves no longer remembers him or the bond they once shared. With an urgent need to secure a vital alliance through marriage, Alexander finds himself caught in an agonizing struggle between his absolute duty to the crown and the desires of his heart. As the winter chill deepens and the Shadow King’s influence spreads, Norah is forced to embrace a destiny she cannot recall. This high-stakes fantasy features a poignant "forgotten love" trope, where the weight of a kingdom rests on two souls fighting to reconcile their past with an uncertain future.
