Traitors of the Black Crown

Referred to by readers as 'an LGBTQ Game of Thrones', that will appeal to fans of The Wheel of Time, Priory of the Orange Tree, and the Farseer Trilogy, Traitors of the Black Crown seamlessly ties political intrigue with the right dash of action and a beautiful sapphic on page romance to tie it all together.\n"Traitors of the Black Crown is my new favorite fantasy series! I loved this book and I can’t wait for the sequel. It’s so much more than the novelty of a F/F story with a cross-dressing knight. The depth of the characters and the rich history draws the reader in immediately and doesn’t let go until the very last word." -Shawna Barnett, author of Windfall.\n"I simply cannot sing my praises of this book loudly enough. Every aspect of Traitors of the Black Crown was superb, and this is easily one of the best books I have read in 2021." -Anna Joy\nThree women will betray the black crown. A Knight. A Duchess. A Queen.\nRaena Schinen narrowly escaped when the Queen’s guard murdered her entire family. If Raena’s survival is exposed, she’ll be next. For fifteen years Raena has hidden as a male Knight, “Sir Rowan”, consumed by her vengeful desire to assassinate the Queen.\nThe moment Raena is close enough to exact her revenge, she is unexpectedly exiled to a foreign land. There she serves the common-born Duchess Aven Colby, whose suspicious kinship with the Queen further threatens Raena’s delicate secrets.\nJust as they become united in a common goal to curb a looming invasion, unexpected heat and romance blossoms between “Sir Rowan” and Aven. The peril demands they set out on a journey to form clandestine political alliances, risking the Queen’s wrath, and drawing Raena and Aven closer together.\nBut no one in the kingdom could have imagined the sinister foe rising from below the surface. In order to save themselves and those they love, Raena, Aven, and the Queen must recognize who are the oppressors and who will unite against the Black Crown.

"A beautiful story about healing through trauma, and finding love again (both within yourself and another) after a toxic relationship." -Melissa Karibian, author of A Song of Silver and Gold. 
This can't work out. It won't end well. But what if it does? 
When Ava meets Parker in an LGBT therapy group, she's hesitant to get close to someone new. Ava's traumatic past with relationships, and her inability to fully embrace her asexuality has made it hard for her to connect with anyone. But when she starts seeing Parker everywhere, she finds it hard to ignore how familiar Parker is, and how at peace Parker's presence in her life makes her feel. 
Parker is less than a year out of a toxic relationship when she starts seeing Ava all over town. At the gym where she works, at the coffee shop she frequents, and then at the LGBT therapy group she decides to attend on a whim. She takes this as a sign from the universe, but is shocked to find that Ava doesn't believe in fate, and none of the charm and charisma that has worked before will quite cut it this time. 
As the two grow closer, they both have to decide if holding onto the things their exes taught them are also holding them back from their future.
