My second novel, The Forsaken Monarch, continues that story of Empress Maud of England that I began with The Girl Empress. Here comes the plot description.

England is in chaos. The heir to the throne is dead. The king’s only remaining legitimate child is Empress Maud, who is hundreds of miles away tending to her sick husband. Once a royal afterthought, Maud has suddenly become the most important woman in Europe.Her father, King Henry I of England, wishes to use her as his pawn once again, but Maud dreams of a different future in which she controls her own destiny. Through heartbreak, conflicts, and great physical danger, she relies on the friends she has made to help her overcome immense obstacles. But will she ever win the respect of both her father and her kingdom? More importantly, will she gain the child she so desperately craves?

Sounds pretty exciting, right? The novel is now available on Amazon as both a Kindle book and paperback. More information about the series can be found on my other website, www.chronicleofmaud.com, including a content advisory for The Forsaken Monarch. Coralie Cowen has also published a brief review over at the Torrey Gazette. Go out, purchase, and enjoy!
