The Wooden Ring
An Ashtarom Novel
Princess Coriandra has no magic, no claim to the throne, and no illusions about her family.
She has spent years quietly holding Venik together while her father gambles, her sisters chase power, and the kingdom rots beneath its jewels. But when King Doldus’s debts finally come due, he divides the realm between Cori’s ambitious sisters and sends her across the sea as payment for the money needed to save what remains.
Disowned, powerless, and bound for an unwanted marriage, Cori must survive pirates, political betrayal, and the dangerous truth of her own forgotten past — before the kingdom that cast her out tears itself apart.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I’m a recovering corporate executive writing paranormal women’s fiction with a bit of class, and a lot of sass, for anyone who feels age is just a number. My books explores what happens when midlife meets magic, and when ordinary women discover extraordinary power just when life expects them to shrink.
When I’m not writing, I can be found walking beside the sea, reading a book, or enthusiastically, if inexpertly, crocheting.
