The Regent's Gambit

A conquered woman handed a throne no one expects her to keep—Brielle Sareth, tutor to a four-year-old queen, becomes regent of the very kingdom that subjugated her people. The privy council believes she'll be their puppet, a silent placeholder while they carve up a nation's wealth. But famine is spreading, corruption festers behind gilded doors, and a murdered king's secret could shatter everything. To save her people and the child she loves, Brielle must outmaneuver the most dangerous court in the realm.
