The Amber Crown cover

The king is dead, his queen is missing. On the amber coast, the usurper king is driving Zavonia to the brink of war. A dangerous magical power is rising up in Biela Miasto, and the only people who can set things right are a failed bodyguard, a Landstrider witch, and the assassin who set off the whole sorry chain of events. Can these three discover the real villain, find the queen, and set the rightful king on the throne before the country is overcome?

Praise for The Amber Crown

“Solid epic fantasy that understands the genre's core appeal at the same time as offering fresh twists and perspectives. Assured and effective worldbuilding, believably complex characters.” —Juliet E. McKenna, author of the Green Man series

Praise for the Rowankind series


"Bedford skillfully evokes both the society and the high seas of 1801 England as the story takes her heroes across the British Isles and into the realm of the Fae. She mixes action, intrigue, and romance in a satisfying fantasy-of-manners; Ross and Corwen make a formidable team as they fight monsters and zealots alike."--Publishers Weekly

"A finely crafted and well-researched plunge into swashbuckling, sorcery, shape-shifting, and the Fae! Highly entertaining."--Elizabeth Ann Scarborough, Nebula Award-winning author of The Healer's War

"Swashbuckling action, folklore, and characters to care about: this is an authentic English take on historical fantasy, magic, and class."--Kari Sperring, author of The Grass King's Concubine

"A fabulous and fun action-packed story, with an engaging heroine."--Liz Williams, author of The Ghost Sister
