About this item
R.S.A. Garcia’s scifantasy debut introduces a mesmerizing world where Caribbean mythology intersects with epic adventure in a matriarchal realm ruled by warrior-magicians. For 500 years, Gaiea’s Hand has kept the darkness at bay, and the Goddess’s Blessing ensures that peace reigns under the rule of queens. But everything changes the night Princess Viella, a ten-year-old with blossoming magical abilities, is thrust into a nightmare.
As the presumptive heir to the throne and the Spirit of Gaiea, Viella is preparing to embrace her destiny at the Ceremony to confirm her as the next Hand of Gaiea. Yet tragedy strikes when her mother, the Queen of Hamber, is assassinated in front of her eyes. Now, the young princess is not just the heir—she is queen.
Luka, her reluctant but loyal bodyguard, immediately springs into action, whisking Viella away from the royal court to protect her from the forces of darkness hunting her. Though he often resented his role as royal babysitter, Luka’s sense of duty is unwavering. However, protecting a child queen with growing magical powers is no easy task, and his own secrets weigh heavily on him. As a man in a matriarchal society, Luka must navigate not only the dangers ahead but also his place in a world that questions his role.
On the run from a deadly coup and a wave of darkness, Viella and Luka must figure out how to survive in a world where the line between magic and technology is blurring. Together, they may be the Queendom's last hope.
