The Crown of Exile

Banished at birth and denied her birthright, Janna grows up under the care of Del Ruggar, the man who rescued her from an orphanage and raised her as his own. He teaches her everything she needs to know about honor, courage, and strategy-preparing her to face a destiny she's only beginning to understand. When Janna discovers she is the rightful heir to Calbria's throne, she must build an army, confront the ruthless Castillian Empire, and take on the evil Emperor Kristoff. All the while, her lifelong companion Tristan Eller has been by her side, her closest friend and eventual soulmate-though it takes the revelation of his true identity as a prince for Janna to see the love she's had all along. But danger shadows every step. A second copy of King Gelpher's decree, written to strip Janna of her claim, is in the hands of a man with his own deadly designs. He waits for the perfect moment to strike-will Janna defeat her enemies and claim her throne before his plan comes to fruition?
