The Unexpected Queen

Book excerpt: Trixie Black never thought of herself as a princess, but when she inherits the throne to Faerieland, along with a marriage proposal from a dark fae prince, her life becomes a royal pain. Not only does she have to deal with courtly politics, suspicions that she’s not queen material, and controlling her ever-growing magical powers, but there is also the matter of a pain-in-the-ass prophecy. It is foretold that she will unite with the Unseelie and become an evil tyrant. But she’s been there and done that with the villain thing, and she won’t go down that path again. Trixie must prove to the world that she’s changed. Thankfully, her sister Raina always has her back, as does her aunt, Queen Gloriana. Life would be grand if most of the Immortal Brotherhood weren’t watching her every move, waiting for her to mess up so they can drive a stake through her heart—both literally and figuratively. But Trixie is no helpless princess. She’s a fighter. She will fight for her throne, her loved ones, and even her very soul. She just has to disprove the prophecy, uncover the true intentions of the Unseelie Prince Thane who thinks he can just waltz into her palace and marry her, and go toe to toe with Arabella Larkin, the most formidable witch who’s ever lived. No biggy.
