Jeslyn, is there a specific genre you insist on? Sounds like you want romance? If yes, you want to put that in your topic header otherwise you'll attract suggestions you have no interest in.

I can't think of one where the main character starts off as a queen from the very beginning...usually that is what happens at the end.
In the The Orphan Queen it's YA and it happens in the end if I remember correctly.

But I'm curious to know if there are any where she starts off already a queen!
