Crown Duel

Crown Duel is a compelling young adult fantasy that combines two previously published novels into one epic story. It follows 17-year-old Countess Meliara Astiar, who first leads a rebellion against a corrupt king, then must navigate the complex and dangerous world of royal court politics. The book explores themes of identity, resilience, justice, and first love, as Mel learns to trust herself and others in a world far more nuanced than she initially understood. Parents will appreciate the strong female protagonist and the nuanced exploration of political strategy, both on the battlefield and in the ballroom.
