Queen of None

After twenty years away, Anna Pendragon returns to Carelon with her late husband's crown, confronting her past and seeking power, identity, and revenge in a changing world. "Queen of None" explores her journey.

In "Queen of None," Anna Pendragon, the sister of the legendary King Arthur, returns to Carelon twenty years after her marriage to King Lot of Orkney. Bearing the crown of her deceased husband, Anna finds herself drawn back into a world filled with the complexities of her past. Her return forces her to confront the shadows of her childhood, including her relationships with her sisters, Morgen, Elaine, and Morgause, as well as the enigmatic Merlin and Bedevere, the man she once loved.

Having been married at a young age and thrust into the role of a mother, Anna's life has been shaped by duty and sacrifice. She has raised three strong sons and played a crucial role in securing the kingdom of Orkney for her brother, Arthur. Yet, despite her contributions, she has often felt invisible, valued only for her lineage and the alliances her marriage created. Now, as she steps back into Carelon, she must navigate a changing landscape filled with new threats and the awakening of her own latent power.

As Anna grapples with her identity and ambitions, she realizes that to break free from being a mere pawn in the schemes of others, she must harness her strength and make difficult choices. "Queen of None" is the first installment in a richly woven Arthurian fantasy romance trilogy that explores themes of empowerment, family loyalty, and the pursuit of revenge in a world where women’s voices are often overlooked.
