Dark Queen
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.

Jeff Wheeler
Jeff Wheeler’s writing journey is as much about personal transformation as it is about the intricate worlds he weaves. Born in the heart of the Silicon Valley, Jeff was immersed in technology from a young age, a background that contrasts with the sweeping fantasy realms that now define his work. But the marriage of the two—his technical mind and his boundless creativity—has made him one of the standout authors in modern fantasy.
After earning degrees in history and business from San Jose State University, Jeff carved out a successful career at Intel Corporation, but his passion for storytelling never waned. What started as late-night writing sessions grew into something more. Inspired by fantasy legends like Terry Brooks’ The Elfstones of Shannara, Jeff realized that he had stories to tell—stories of magic, power, and deep emotional journeys.
Angel Sworn
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.
Angel Sworn consists of four books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
