Ten years ago, King Wren of the West discovered Raelle washed up on the shores of the Balour Sea, with no memory of the first nine years of her life. She was brought back to the castle and dutifully cared for and cherished by the king and his three older sons. On her nineteenth birthday, the Western Kingdom’s adoptive princess is secretly sent away by her stepmother to marry King Veras as a token of peace between the kingdoms. But, the Northern King has other plans.As Raelle’s amnesia melts away with the help of a northern storyteller, she discovers more about the Kingdom of Garth, magic, the lovetie connection of the Evamores, and her role in the grand scheme of things. She is confused, angry, and curiously comfortable in the North.A dark shadow overcasts all the kingdoms, and a threatening influence of the fallen god Kellar seems to spread among the people, inciting disorder and violence. While the fate of the kingdoms may rest on Raelle's shoulders, she can’t help but feel kingdomless. Betrayal is everywhere, from her own adoptive family to her newfound friends. Fearless, observant, witty and determined, she is torn between her attraction to King Veras’ good nature and the unexplained pull to the Tracker Calak. The challenge that she faces is not simple. As the old gods, laws and magic awaken, so does her own sense of self. There is a choice to be made, step into the role expected of her, or to dive into the unknown and make her own destiny.This YA fantasy novel asks the reader important coming of age questions, captures the attention with witty dialogue, relatable characters, and a world that is reawakening its forgotten magic. The readers will be entranced and hungry for more (and perhaps a piece of chocolate cake).Kingdomless Editorial Review:"KINGDOMLESS is everything fantasy should be. I was on the edge of my seat with every chapter. Raelle is found after a shipwreck and lives her life as a princess surrounded by her lovable brothers. But all isn’t what is seems as her life is torn apart. She finds herself in the care of a king and thrust into a magic system she never could have imagined existed. Raelle’s strength and determination on her path to find herself and save the ones she loves isbreathtaking. The swoon-worthy men, the badass women, and the overarching story of magic and deep, differing sorts of love are all woven together like a work of art. There are so many twists and turns I can’t even mention because it would ruin the surprise… This is a must-read if you love female-driven fantasy!" - Author Kat Blackthorne less
