The Cockroach hardback edition
The First Kingdom of Asha is falling.
Almost the entire Royal line assassinated.
The crown falls to house Montel
As eighth in line for the throne, Jadira Montel was quite happily wasting her life with no intent of ever being Queen. Until a mass assassination unexpectedly landed her the job.
On the run with no formal training, Jadira must choose her path to the throne and who to trust to help get her there. Surrounded by death and betrayal, hunted by her enemies from across the sea, she has only famed assassin ‘The Cockroach’ and a horse of myth and legend to assist her, and they don’t seem very trustworthy either. It quickly becomes clear that everyone wants something from the new Queen.
Most want to control her.
The Citadel want to marry her off.
The West wants her dead.
And the legendary Prince of Assassins? She’s not sure if he wants to seduce her or stangle her, perhaps both.
Only one thing is certain, Jadira doesn’t have a clue what she’s doing.
Featuring:
⚔️Enemies to Friends to Lovers and so much banter
🔥The slowest of burns, but all of the tension
👑A new-to-the-job Queen who's in over her head
🛏️Only one bed at the inn as standard
🐴Lovable sidekicks
🧶A morally very dark grey love interest wearing knitwear
Comes with sword book charm and purple sprayed edges.
