The Watchers of Moniah: Book 1 - Paperback

by Barbara V. Evers (Author)

"A tale of intrigue and romance, set in a unique and skillfully rendered world, THE WATCHERS OF MONIAH will keep readers riveted from first page to last. Highly recommended!" -David B. Coe/D.B. Jackson, author of the Thieftaker Chronicles

Becoming queen of Moniah lies far in Adana's future. For now, she's content to train relentlessly as a Watcher warrior, but her mother's illness and shocking deathbed decree change everything. The traitor Maligon has returned from the dead, threatening everything she holds dear.

Twenty years ago, Maligon's War tore apart the kingdoms. Is it truly him in the Watcher's prophecy or his relentless supporters? Either way, Adana finds herself shipped off to the allied kingdom of Elwar until she's of age to reign.

She leaves her training as an elite, visually gifted warrior, and trades a uniform for formal gowns, battlefield training for parlor protocol, and her strongest ally, the remarkable giraffe she's telepathically bound to, for a spoiled princess and queen who despise her. With daring and courage, she must find a way to survive and hope others can vanquish the traitor.

Meanwhile, Maligon gathers secrets and supporters as he plots revenge on his enemy's only surviving daughter. His final goal? Moniah.

Will Adana's kingdom survive long enough to vanquish her mother's enemy? Will Maligon ravage and conquer the four kingdoms?

"Here is utterly unique world-building and imagination aplenty. Ms. Evers is a welcome addition to the highest ranks of fantasists." -John Adcox, author of Christmas Past and The Star in the East.
