The Queen’s Rising
An epic and exhilarating story of deception, love and revenge, from the extraordinary Sunday Times and New York Times number-one-bestselling author of DIVINE RIVALS. Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Sarah J Maas and Shelby Mahurin.
The Queen’s Rising, crafted by the extraordinary Rebecca Ross, is an epic tale woven with threads of deception, love and revenge. This enthralling narrative, perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Sarah J. Maas, and Shelby Mahurin, immerses readers in a world where passion and power collide.
Brienna is an arden, a dedicated student of the five passions: art, music, wit, dramatics, and knowledge. Approaching the summer solstice of her seventeenth year, she aims to achieve the prestigious title of mistress, signifying mastery in her chosen passion. Yet, unlike her talented arden-sisters, Brienna's inclusion in the passion-house is not based on her skill. She senses that her presence is meant for concealment rather than talent.
With an enigmatic past, Brienna has never known her father's identity. Her mother hailed from Valenia, a land celebrated for its elegance, etiquette, and scholarship, while her father was a Maevan - a native of a wild, windswept kingdom proud of its ancient heritage of magical warrior queens. Maevana, though once glorious, now languishes under the oppressive reign of a tyrannical king.
Brienna's life takes an unexpected turn when she starts experiencing visions: inherited memories of a long-deceased Maevan ancestor. The visions reveal the hidden location of the legendary Stone of Eventide. This powerful artefact holds the key to restoring the rightful queen of Maevana to the throne, and Brienna realises she possesses the unique ability to uncover it.
Swept into a perilous adventure filled with covert alliances, age-old feuds, deep family secrets, and the embers of first love, Brienna faces a myriad of challenges. She must navigate a treacherous landscape, questioning whether the ties of chosen family can rival those of blood.
Rebecca Ross’s masterpiece, The Queen’s Rising, invites you to dive deep into a richly-imagined world where heritage and destiny intertwine, and where one young woman holds the power to change the fate of a kingdom.
