So, I got some lovely news this morning. Queen of Deception (Empire of Shattered Crowns #1) has been added to the list of Finalists in The Wishing Shelf Awards hosted in the UK. Although the winners will be announced in April, I’m thankful for being selected. Unlike other awards, TWSA are judged by teachers and school students. So, this means that enough people liked my work to be added to this list. I even get a pretty medal for being a finalist which I’ll share pictures of once I get my hands on it 😛
Thank you so much for running these awards, Edward, and massive congratulations to the other finalists in all of the categories.
If you haven’t read the epic fantasy series-starter, Queen of Deception, but would like to, it is available in Kindle Unlimited 🙂
Currently, Empire of Shattered Crowns has 3 books released, and Queen of Hearts is due for release at the end of February 2024.
Queen of Deception BLURB:
Gold Book Award Winner 2023 – Literary Titan.
1st Place (Fantasy) – Royal Dragonfly Awards 2023.
If you were offered a second life, would you take it?
Emilia died. She thought it was all over but then she opens her eyes and realizes she’s a child with all the memories of her past life and her eidetic memory intact.
Not just that. She’s now living in a medieval world that resembles her favourite fantasy novel—The Cruel Empire. Instead of being a main character, she’s reborn into the role of a princess fated to die before the age of eighteen.
As years go by, and she realises she’s not waking from a dream, she settles into her new life with only a goal in mind—survival.
Having years ahead of her before her new life is cut short, Emilia pulls the strings and builds a network of friends that will help her with her goal—stop Prince Thessian from killing her with the rest of her despicable family and make him her ally.
If she can do this, she can rule to improve her kingdom’s conditions and support Thessian’s goal to become emperor of the neighbouring empire.
But when a side character messes with the main plot, what will happen to Emilia’s future now that she has no idea of what other events she has set in motion.
