PRODUCT INFORMATION
Summary
A princess expected to show neutrality in a war on either side of her borders faces a dilemma when both heirs to neighboring kingdoms arrive at court. She must discover if she can uphold peace, or if neutrality is nothing more than an ideal.
Description
"The Solstice Court had always felt like a dream, a shroud against the violence of the world."
Kezerah lives behind a veil of peace. Her kingdom is fruitful, her weather fair. She wants nothing more than to escape and explore the world beyond her castle walls.
Yet, as the Soul Heir, the reincarnation of her people's king, heavy expectations root Princess Kezerah in place. To lead her people, she must embrace her magic and maintain peace. A challenge made more difficult by the decade-long war that batters either side of her kingdom's borders. She is expected to maintain her kingdom's treaty to uphold peace with a show of complete neutrality. Neither the northern Kingdom of Alora nor the southern shores of Xenkesh may receive an ounce of favoritism.
Kezerah balances these duties with uneven footing, up until the day both heirs -warring brothers-of the neighboring kingdoms arrive at her Autumn court.
Each brother demands not only her allegiance but her affection, and Kezerah must decide which path she will take to create the future she desires.
"Wake up. The Solstice Court is beautiful, but it's a dream and Elastor remains asleep rather than face the people dying right outside its walls."
A story filled with magic, alliances, platonic soulmates, and a dollop of romance.
Critic Reviews
Goodreads Reviews at a glimpse:
"This is the kind of story you want to curl up and just be in, and the writing will sweep you into believing that you've done just that...Jade brings her characters to life in a way that makes them feel very much like you've known them your whole life," - Lindsay, 5 star review
"CHARACTER MOTIVATION/DEVELOPMENT IS PHENOMENAL. I don't want to plot spoil here, but this is written by someone with very well-researched understanding of human psychology/behavior. Those with complex family systems will probably see something of themselves in at least one of the MCs" - S, 5 star review.
"Never before in my life have I experienced such a pleasant feeling of warmth and love from reading a book." - Emelie, 5 star review
About the Author
Jade proudly hails from the north and claims Juneau, Alaska as her hometown. Though admittedly, Portland, OR brewed her the best cup of coffee during an all-nighter studying at PSU. Jade's degree and interests are social psychology and family studies, with a soft spot for child development.When writing, she most likes to explore complex family dynamics and magic systems set in queer-normative worlds.Now, nestled in Gifu, Japan, days are spent talking with students, writing books, and exploring the countryside with her partner and two imaginary rabbits (Lancelot and Whimsy). If she takes days to respond to your email, it's not because she dislikes you. It's just an Aquarius thing and it can't be helped.
