Crowns and Shadows (Expanded Edition)

In a kingdom shaped by the shifting banks of the Zambezi, power is never accidental.

Palisa was raised in secrecy and trained from childhood for a single purpose: enter the palace, gain the trust of Crown Prince Amukena, and complete the mission assigned to her.

But the palace is not what she expected.

Amukena is a thoughtful ruler, strategist, and builder determined to strengthen his kingdom. As he investigates a failing canal system and troubling discrepancies within the royal treasury, Palisa becomes drawn into a web of secrets that reaches far beyond her original purpose.

Soon, loyalty, duty, and identity collide as Palisa must decide whether her future will be determined by the life chosen for her-or by the life she chooses for herself.

Crowns and Shadows is a sweeping political romance about loyalty, faith, marriage, and the courage to choose who you become.
