An Heir Comes to Rise · #2 / 6
A Queen Comes to Power
A DUTY…
Bound in service to the king within the city, Faythe grapples with morality to keep herself and her friends safe. Nik’s loyalty is tested as he struggles against his father’s cruel ways. When blood and duty divide the heart, can love conquer all?
AN ALLIANCE…
While the kingdoms prepare to unite, Faythe is forced to remain hidden in plain sight. But suspicions quickly arise with the mysterious fae general from an ally court. Getting close to Reylan could unravel truths she longed for, but trust is hard to gain and even harder to hold. When lurking evil threatens the alliance that keeps them all safe, Faythe may find herself on the side where danger meets desire in a force that could break past the guard on her heart.
A CHOICE…
For the threat of battle isn’t the only conflict to fear. Faythe can’t forget the deal she struck in the woods to save her friend’s life–and it’s time to fulfil. Finding the temple ruin leads them to harrowing discoveries within the castle…and something far more sinister than the war that lingers. It seems everyone will receive more than they bargained for. A history that haunts, truths that destroy, and a tangled destiny they didn’t expect.
When courts collide, blood may be spilled. But when destinies collide, blood may hold power.
The series
In a world where the weight of legacy crushes even the strongest hearts, a young woman must rise not just for herself, but for an empire on the brink of collapse.
Read full series description
An Heir Comes to Rise transports readers into a realm where magic and treachery intertwine, and the fight for power is as much about the heart as it is about the throne. At its core, the series explores the transformative journey of a young, reluctant heir, Faythe, whose hidden lineage and untapped power have the potential to reshape the fate of kingdoms.
The world Peñaranda creates is one of palpable tension, where each court has its own set of rules, and alliances are forged with the sharp edge of a blade. In this world, everyone has something to prove, and trust is a rare currency. The intricate world-building draws inspiration from both myth and history, with courts that are as deadly as they are beautiful, and an undercurrent of magic that feels both ancient and dangerously alive.
What sets An Heir Comes to Rise apart isn’t just its epic scope—it’s the way it pulls readers into its emotional currents. Faythe is not a hero by choice, but by necessity, and her journey is one of self-discovery, sacrifice, and the painful process of accepting her own power. With each turn, the stakes grow higher, and the line between right and wrong becomes ever more blurred.
For those who love rich, atmospheric fantasies with complex characters, courtly intrigue, and a touch of romance that feels both inevitable and tragic, this series offers a refreshing and captivating experience. It’s a world where trust is earned, love is hard-won, and every victory comes at a cost. If you’re looking for a series that will make you question fate, loyalty, and the price of power, An Heir Comes to Rise promises to be a journey you won’t forget.
