Unassuming Queen - Paperback

by Kylie Kent (Author)

Holly

This wasn't supposed to happen. This isn't the happily ever after I was promised. He was meant to be here. He was meant to be sitting on this throne. Not me.

I'm not equipped for this. I'm not fit to rule over anything. He says I'm a queen. He even gave me the keys to the castle, but what's a queen without her king? Still a queen apparently.

There's nowhere to hide. There's nowhere to run. This is my kingdom. His kingdom. And I'll do whatever it takes to make sure it's still standing when he returns. Because believing he won't come back isn't an option.

Theo

She doesn't know it, but I'm watching over her. Assisting where I can. Every fibre of my being wants to storm back through those doors and wrap her in my arms. Yet the one thing stopping me... is her. Because I will put her safety above all else.

They want to believe I'm dead. They want to overrun the castle. Take what my family has gained through generations on that throne. Let them try. Like many before, they'll fail. I may not be by her side, but I have eyes and ears all over the city.

I've left my kingdom in safe hands. They will underestimate her, my little unassuming queen, but that will be their downfall.

She may appear quiet, weak even. But I know her soul better than she does. If anyone can reign in my absence, it's her.
