The Woman Who Stole the Throne

Fairendale, #13

Science gave her life, Death now rules her.

Raised from the dead by science, Yasmin was claimed by the Grim Reaper and sent to the kingdom of Fairendale with a command to usurp the throne. Now a captive queen of sorts, she begins to question whether she was made for more—good or evil, it is anyone's guess, only let her make her own decisions. But who is she without the Grim Reaper? And how can she possibly escape his hold?

When Yasmin acquires a magical quill pen and uses it to create a monster army that turns the woods around Fairendale darker—placing everyone in the realm in grave danger—she believes it was her own handiwork, at least until she tries to bring a monster into Fairendale castle and meets an invisible wall. Her anger unfolds, along with her conviction that she is fully capable of ruling a throne without the help of the Grim Reaper or anyone else—and how many casualties will her quest for freedom require?

The Woman Who Stole the Throne is the thirteenth book in the Fairendale series, an epic fantasy middle grade series that explores both familiar and unfamiliar fairy tales, legends, myths, and folk tales. The world of Fairendale revolves around villains and heroes—all on a quest for what they believe is right. Throughout the series, the story of King Willis and his determination to keep the throne of Fairendale (at all costs? Perhaps. Or perhaps not.)  is woven into the story of his son, Prince Virgil, heir to the throne and friend to the village children, and the story of fairy tale children fleeing for their lives—children who become what we know as fairy tale villains, for one good reason or another. 

But, remember, one cannot always know, at first glance, who is the villain and who is the hero.
