The Wingless Queen

di V. H. Vance (Autore)

Skyforest Publishing, 2026

They took her wings. They pulled her fangs. They forgot that some queens don't need wings to rule. For three thousand years, Alyssa was the undisputed Nightmare Queen of the First Clan. Then her own sister betrayed her. Stripped of her flight, her venom-fangs pulled, and her belly carved open, she was chained to a volcanic altar to bleed out in the dark. She expected death. Instead, she got a blacksmith. Ryan Hremn is a mixed-blood hunter with a rare, forbidden talent: he can see the structural stress points in steel, bone, and soul. When he finds the mutilated queen dying in a pool of her own royal blood, he doesn't see a monster. He sees a masterwork broken by cowards. With silver thread, blood-alchemy, and an unyielding will, Ryan stitches her shattered body back together. In return, Alyssa's ancient instincts ignite, binding his very heartbeat to hers with a primal Blood Bond. But their salvation is short-lived. To save a brainwashed Saintess and stop a fanatical Sun-Wizard from triggering a continent-shattering event, Ryan and Alyssa must navigate a deadly matriarchal vampire empire where human males are prized as breeding consorts. When Ryan is forced into a duel on the docks and captured by the ruling Duchess, Alyssa must unleash her newly forged steel wings and reclaim what is hers. Some queens crawl when they are broken. This one is going to tear an empire apart. The Wingless Queen is a dark fantasy romance featuring a fierce, mutilated heroine restored through blood-iron alchemy, a tactical blacksmith hero, a snarky ancient archmage living in his shadow, and a high-stakes divine chessboard. Perfect for fans of dark romance, hurt-and-heal tropes, and matriarchal fantasy.
