The Queens of Innis Lear

Dynasties battle for the crown in Tessa Gratton's debut adult epic fantasy, The Queens of Innis Lear--based on William Shakespeare's King Lear.

Three Queens. One crown. All out war.

Gaela. Ruthless Commander.

I am the rightful heir of Innis Lear. No more will I wait in the shadows and watch my mother's murderer bleed my island dry.

The King's hold on the crown must end--willingly or at the edge of my sword.

Regan. Master Manipulator.

To secure my place on the throne, I must produce an heir. Countless times I have fed the island's forests my blood. Yet, my ambition is cursed.

No matter what or whom I must destroy, I will wield the magic of Innis Lear.

Elia. Star-blessed Priest.

My sisters hide in the shadows like serpents, waiting to strike our ailing king. I must protect my father, even if it means marrying a stranger.

We all have to make sacrifices. Love and freedom will be mine.

"Amazing. Just Amazing."--Robin McKinley
