Introduction

For fans of *One Dark Window* and *The Hemlock Queen* comes a lush, gothic reimagining of mythology, where a forgotten princess must embrace her darkest inheritance to save a kingdom doomed by its own immortality.

In the cursed kingdom of Moirai, death has vanished. Trapped in a state between life and oblivion, its people are condemned to an eternity of toil, waiting for the return of the Reaper. But Death has a name—Morena, the forgotten princess locked away by her own mother, a cruel queen driven by dark magic and ambition. As a direct descendant of the Fates, Morena’s destiny was written long ago, but she has never wielded her powers—until now.

When fate offers her a way out, she takes it. Masked as the Grim Reaper, Morena stalks the shadows, tasked with claiming the hearts. But a stranger in the graveyard knows more than he should, pulling her into a deadly game of secrets, power, and betrayal. The glittering court hides its own dark deceptions, and her mother’s twisted ambitions infect the kingdom like poison, leaving Morena caught between a world she barely understands and a destiny she dreads.

As enemies close in and her heart tugs between duty and desire, Morena must decide—will she claim the power that is her birthright , or will she carve a new path for herself and defy the gods themselves?

Perfect for readers who crave dark retellings steeped in myth and gothic allure, QUEENS OF MOIRAI will pull you into a world where death is just the beginning, and destiny is as inescapable as the grave.

Trigger warnings: death, imprisonment, gore, abusive parent, dark magic, steamy scenes, and suicidal themes.

Why do you know Achilles story, but not hers?

"A wonderful, gripping, new adult, mythological retelling. Finding a gem amongst the plethora of fantasy and paranormal fiction available today is refreshing. Anyone who loves Sarah J. Maas and fantasy with strong but vulnerable characters will love Queens of Moirai." - Review from Readers' Favorite

"Feared. Locked up. Lonely. Thrown away. People you love taken. No father. A cruel mother. Betrayed. What type of person does that girl become? This series is your answer." - Shannon, ARC Reviewer

Excerpt

Prologue

Snow fell on the graves of the children. Here it was always winter, white and knife-cold, and the boy hated it. Hated the castle of dark-blue stone. Hated the handsome king and hated the sounds and the smells and the guards and the food.  ... view entire excerpt...
