Metamorphistry has torn civilization apart. Cities have fallen. Kingdoms lie in ruin. From the chaos stalks a relentless golem, hunting a single prize—the angel sworn Cimree, whose curse turns any who behold her into stone.
While the other angel sworn take refuge in the caves of Tirich Mir, Cimree remains trapped beneath the shattered city of Ecbatana, hiding in its labyrinthine tunnels. She is bound by a rare and dangerous magic to Azra, a connection that both strengthens and endangers them. Enemies circle in the darkness, determined to destroy each other—and her. Her only confidante is a whispering serpent no one else can hear, a voice that may be a guide or temptation.
Fleeing Ecbatana with Azra means risking everything—trust, love, and the fragile safety of those she once saved. For Cimree’s curse is not just a weapon against her enemies. It is a threat to anyone who dares stand too close.
As the world fractures and ambition breeds ever-deadlier horrors, Cimree must decide what she is willing to sacrifice: her freedom, her future, or the people she loves.
Because some choices don’t demand courage.
They demand everything.
Jeff Wheeler delivers a powerful epic fantasy where cursed magic, impossible loyalty, and relentless danger collide in a world torn apart by ambition. Dark Queen is epic fantasy at its most gripping—where every bond is a risk, every choice carries devastating weight, and survival demands more than courage.

The series
In Angel Sworn, the line between divinity and the earthly realm is thin—so thin that a single thread of magic can unravel both. Set in the mysterious valley of Clairvaux, a hidden sanctuary where ancient, immortal fruit grows on the Gallows Tree, this series blends ethereal magic and deep-rooted mysteries. At the heart of this world are the angel sworn, magical guardians bound to animals, living out their long lives in symbiosis with nature's creatures. Their bond grants them power, but also a duty to maintain harmony with all living things.
Read full series description
But peace is fleeting. When strange deaths begin to plague Clairvaux, bodies ravaged by vicious claws, the very fabric of this magical world begins to tear. Amidst the growing unrest, Cimree, a young healer, discovers she may hold the key to a dark truth—one that could unravel the very balance between the divine and mortal realms.
As creatures once tame are twisted into monstrous forms, and a forgotten magic is uncovered, Cimree's journey takes her beyond the safety of Clairvaux to the heart of a dark secret—a fallen angel locked away in a distant prison. With new dangers looming and an ancient magic awakening, Cimree must decide where her loyalty lies, and whether her fate is intertwined with a divine struggle larger than anything she could have imagined.
The Angel Sworn series delves into themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the fragility of peace. With its lush world-building, complex characters, and a world where the forces of nature and magic are forever entwined, this series weaves a tale of intrigue, danger, and divine conflict that will captivate readers who crave depth and mystery in their fantasy worlds.
