About this book

After surviving a revolution that finally brought a queen to power, Brienna must navigate the treacherous balance between proving herself to her father's noble House and serving as the new Queen's most trusted advisor—all while trying not to let her heart betray her to Cartier, the reformed lord who's learning to rebuild his own shattered legacy. When they both become unexpectedly drawn to a mysterious boy named Tomas, their quiet connection deepens into something neither of them can ignore, but the timing couldn't be worse as dangerous enemies circle, looking for any weakness to exploit. With the kingdom's stability hanging in the balance and resistance brewing from those who refuse to accept the new regime, Brienna and Cartier will have to choose between protecting what they're building together and protecting everything they've fought for. Ross delivers an absolutely gripping blend of political stakes, passionate romance, and the kind of character development that'll have you cheering for these two even as the world tries to tear them apart.

“Create a playlist called The Queen's Resistance. Haunting folk ballads and atmospheric indie meet delicate string arrangements. Think Hozier's restraint, Bon Iver's longing, and Daughter's melancholy. Ethereal yet grounded—soft vocals over lush production. A soundtrack for duty, forbidden glances, and hearts learning to trust again.”
