Long May She Reign

An aspiring scientist must suddenly take on the perilous role of queen in this YA standalone fantasy: “A thoughtful and thrilling tale” (Kirkus).

Twenty-third in line for the throne, Freya was never meant to become queen. Besides, she would rather perform experiments in her laboratory than participate in the intrigues of the court. But when the king and those closest to him are poisoned, Freya suddenly finds herself on the throne.

Freya may have escaped the massacre, but she is far from safe. The nobles don’t respect her, her councilors want to control her, and with the mass poisoning still unsolved, a single mistake could cost her the kingdom—and her life.

Until she solves the mystery, she can’t trust anyone. Not her advisers. Not the king’s dashing illegitimate son. Not even her own father. As Freya’s enemies close in and her loyalties are tested, she must decide if she is ready to rule and, if so, how far she is willing to go to keep the crown.
