About this series
Avalind and Cabral have been washed out to sea by a monstrous wave and the Hag has been destroyed. Or so it is believed. Baron Dumarrick takes up the reins of state, but only as regent. In Draal, the new king, Kurian, faces the sternest test of his sovereignty yet as a massive insurrection bears down on Zinal, intent on obliterating the Furaks forever. Meanwhile in the Kingdom, peace is still a distant ideal as a murderous new queen rises to launch an audacious bid for power. But who is she?
'A New Queen Rises' is the concluding part of the 'King's Head' Trilogy that began with Callin Vorst striking an unholy bargain with the Hag and ends with... what?

- Usurper: A King's Head, #1
1
Callin Vorst is the youngest member of the Kingdom's second family. Consumed with his conviction that his father should occupy the throne instead of the current incumbent, Rhomic Vandamm, he strikes a bargain with a creature of myth: the utterly misnamed 'Hag'. Before he can think again, the deal is struck and for him - not for his father. The Hag launches him on a career that will see him knighted and a national hero, triumphing against overwhelming odds - but at a terrible cost. At once he is hero and villain - mighty warrior, gallant knight and secret murderer. It will also place him directly in the path of King Rhomic's beautiful daughter, Princess Avalind. Although they begin in friendship, their relationship is doomed to end in bitter opposition as the Hag exacts her price.
- A Sovereign's Honour: A King's Head, #2

Callin's past comes back to haunt him, however, as Avalind returns, seemingly from the dead. 'A Sovereign's Honour' is the second instalment of the fantasy trilogy, 'A King's Head'.
