Ta'Lee:In Search of a Queen

Ta'Lee: In search of a Queen is the last swords and sorcery novel I wrote. Chronologically it takes place between the end of the Warriors, Heroes, and Demons (WHD) series and the beginning of the Wizard's Spawn (WS) series fifteen years later. It is the story of Ta'Lee, a young woman who is an important secondary character in the WHD series. Accomplished and famous as a dancer and a warrior she is uncomfortable as the new queen of Nadia. She volunteers to investigate disturbing accounts of brutal happenings in the two neighbouring cities on north lake. Travelling incognito in a Traveller's caravan she manages to elude the people who are after her, meets a water elemental (Sprite), free the Queen of Bernadice and save her son, before she is captured.Technically, it is not a young adult novel because the protagonist is not a teen, but it is appropriate for that age group as long as they can accept the violence and deaths depicted. There isn't a lot of killing, but my WS series has been criticised for my character's ease with violence. I feel that the truthful depiction of what this world is like in a feudal time period requires acknowledging that life was cheap.I urge you to take a chance on this novel, and know that the author will appreciate it.
