The Queen of Duska

Written by David Viergutz

Narrated by Timothy J. Pohlman

The royal family has felt the pain of death many times over.

Newly appointed Queen Avana struggles to hold the very fabric of her kingdom together. 

She yearns for the days of harmony — the days when her husband, the fallen prince, was by her side. The days when demons were but a legend… 

But rest is a luxury even the queen can’t afford, and her mistakes weight heavily on her heart.

Assassins.

Civil war. 

Treachery.

Every day, another troubling matter tugs at her attention, distracting her from the real threat that lurks in the shadows.

Whispers of an ancient evil drift through the castle, melding with the backhanded plans of those who want to see her fail, and the country burn. 

The pieces are in place. War is imminent. 

Queen Avana is prepared to fight to save her people, but will her greatest efforts be enough?
