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
