Queen of All (The Jena Cycle #1)

With an absent mother and an inattentive father, Jena's only solace is her cousin Sisi, a girl renowned throughout the Four Corners of the Earth for her indescribable beauty.

But when a letter arrives for Sisi from Prince Ricard, the man Sisi suspects is responsible for the recent devastation across the lands, the two girls find themselves thrust into a world far more extravagant, and dangerous, than ever before.

With her cousin caught under the watchful eye of the Prince, it is up to Jena to uncover the history of the Kingdom and its forgotten magic. But scouring a royal library can unlock more than just history: where there are discoveries of the past, there are discoveries of the self.

And for plain, unremarkable Jena, secrets and sacrifice may be the only way to save her cousin-and herself. In her debut novel, Anya Josephs pens a coming-of-age tale of intrigue, heartache, and what it means to love.

"Queen of All" is a young adult fantasy with LGBTQ+ characters and Jewish representation.
