In a Queendom divided, can one girl unite the realms?

Contest of Queens follows Jacs, an inventor's apprentice from the Lower Realm, who has only ever dreamed of what the land among the clouds holds. Her life takes a turn when she discovers a letter from Connor, an Upperite boy eager to learn more about the land below. Unbeknownst to Jacs, Connor is actually Prince Cornelius of the Queendom of Frea.

With wooden boats and hot air balloons, Jacs and Connor begin a secret correspondence. However, their friendship faces obstacles, including a heavily-guarded bridge and an inescapable prejudice. The strength of their bond was thought to transcend distance and time, but everything changes when the royal family visits the Lower Realm, reigniting the Queendom's feud.

To save her people, Jacs must infiltrate the Upper Realm and earn her place to compete in the Contest of Queens. In this tale of friendship, love, bravery, and defying gravity, Jacs strives to prove that a Queendom is strongest when united.
