Jennifer Nelson: Nelson, J: Alpha Queen First of Her Name (Fantasy), Flexibler Einband

Blurb

In the kingdom of Lythara, power is born from the bloodline of its rulers, and the Alpha Queen is the highest title one can attain, ruling not only with strength but with the ancient magic passed down through generations. Elara, the daughter of the fallen king, has spent her life in the shadows, hidden away from the throne she was meant to inherit. For years, the people have whispered of the prophecy: The Alpha Queen will rise first of her name, stronger than any before, to reclaim what was lost and protect the kingdom from an ancient curse. When Elara's family is betrayed, and the throne is usurped by her ruthless cousin, she is forced into exile, living on the fringes of society. But the whispers of the prophecy have never quieted, and Elara knows her destiny is not one to be abandoned. With a small group of loyal followers, including a skilled warrior named Dorian and a mage with a mysterious past, she embarks on a dangerous journey back to Lythara. Along the way, she discovers that her magic is more powerful-and more unpredictable-than she ever imagined, with the potential to either destroy or save the kingdom. As Elara faces fierce enemies, both human and supernatural, she must confront not only the external threats to her kingdom but the darkness within herself. The prophecy looms ever closer, and the true nature of her power begins to reveal itself, leaving her with an impossible choice: rule as the Alpha Queen and risk losing her humanity, or walk away from the throne to save what is left of her soul. Alpha Queen: First of Her Name is a tale of destiny, sacrifice, and the journey to claim power-and what it truly means to be a leader.
