Description:

Caliandra, the teenage princess of Barra, is in dire straits.

Not only did her fiancé break off their engagement and leave her for a richer woman, but Caliandra’s father is gravely ill - and if her brother Valric is unable to find the cure he’s set out for, their titles and wealth will disappear. Their father had been chosen as king by a magic axe, and when he passes on, so does the crown.

Soon, the worst befalls the princess - Valric turns up dead, her father succumbs to disease, and the axe goes missing, leaving the throne open for a coup by the devious Minister of War. Caliandra and her mother decide to risk everything on a desperate bid to find the axe and oust the Minister, driven by a prophecy that the proper King will take his place - Caliandra.

But when she finds out which trusted family friend betrayed her brother, will Caliandra’s thirst for revenge sabotage her only chance at the crown?

*Sometimes, the most dangerous enemies are the friends you’ve known longest. *

PRAISE FOR KING CALLIE:

The writing style is very descriptive... I enjoyed the storyline, and was intrigued by the lengths some of the characters would go to to gain power. My favourite bit would be the strength of the female characters. Even in the face of danger, they held their heads up high, and never let their strength waiver... I loved it, and can't wait to read what Callie gets up to next. – Claire Rees, Girl Who Reads
