The Queen's Prophet (2017)
Dawn Patitucci
"Impeccably researched, The Queen's Prophet offers a rare glimpse into an age that was at once colorful, magical, and beautiful but also brutal and violent--a world few people today can begin to imagine, but wonderfully and vividly rendered by the author. The reader is drawn into a world of passions, loyalties, betrayals and ruthless court intrigue filled with twists and surprises. In Mari we have a heroine who is unique, sympathetic, strong, and we pull for her all the way. An impressive debut."
