The Beggars' Queen

The story of a reluctant Queen and her search for justice and true love. Born into a life of privilege and luxury, Cecily Worrill, heir to the throne of Darren, learns early on that there is much more to life than power and position. When she meets Phillip, a blacksmith with a mysterious past, she is inspired to make life better for all her people, not just the nobility. But in a world of intrigue and conspiracy--a world in which betrayal lurks on every side, and no one is what they seem--can Cecily trust anyone, even the man she loves?
