Queen of Swords - Tales from the Tarot - E-book - ePub

Forty years after Theda Eglion predicted Epera's dire fate, the kingdom edges closer to the brink of doom. Amidst this shadow, a new hope arises-Petronella, a queen grappling with her own disbelief in magic. In Epera, using magic can have you killed. Married to a king disillusioned by their lack of an heir, reluctant queen, Petronella of the Falcons never believed in magic. It's simpler and safer that way.
But she's failed in her duty to birth a child. And the punishment for failure is harsh. Both for herself and her dying kingdom. Desperation forces her on a dangerous journey outside the prison of her castle walls into a beguiling world brimming with enchantment and ancient knowledge. What Petronella discovers there opens her eyes to the secrets that lie buried deep inside her mind. But time is running out.
As war looms and dark magic spills into her world, Petronella must summon courage she never knew she had, and reconsider everything she knows about loyalty, power and magic. Because the true danger to Epera lies much closer to home. And only magic can save it."Queen of Swords" is Book 1 of "Saga of the Swords" from Christine Cazaly's sweeping historical fantasy series, "Tales from the Tarot"."Excellent, emotional fantasy."
