The princes have lied. The queen controls everything, including the dragons.
At first, I just wanted to save my people in the mud quarter, but I couldn’t do it alone. I’m not running away; I’m regrouping so I can return to finally free everyone from the dragon’s curse.
In order to defeat evil, I’m going to have to embrace the darkness and journey into the abandoned mines on the outskirts of the kingdom, meeting the demons themselves. And the princes? If they have truly chosen me, then we will see in time just how much weight a dragon’s promise holds.
I won’t end up like the king, discarded and forgotten. No one will forget the name of Marigold Mudthrice, Queen of Bones & Ashes.

Believe it or not, writing didn't use to be my full time gig! So how’d I start writing? I started writing silly little stories detailing the exploits of my friends and I in our high school marching band. I loved writing, but never in my wildest dreams think it could ever be an actual career. I went on to get two degrees in music, and teach music and band in public skills for about a decade. COVID was the final push I needed to finally take the time to publish that damn novel. One turned into two, then a series, then another series, and then holy-cow-I'm-making-money-at-this! Last spring I quit my music teaching career. I’ve been writing fantasy and why choose romance ever since. I'm entirely self-taught using a multitude of FB author groups, going to conferences, and networking and reading books with others authors in my genre. If I’m not reading or writing, you can find me performing in local shows on clarinet and saxophone. I have three amazing kids, the most incredibly supportive husband, and a grumpy cat named Arthur.
