The Shadows at My Door - Paperback

Maris, who has resumed her life as Princess Lorraine Everhart, has been the active ruler of Trilland for nearly a year. Her official coronation as queen is looming, but she's struggling to manage everyone's expectations.

Trilland suffered under Cassandra's tyrannical rule, and many expected Princess Lorraine's return to be the magic cure for the country's ailments, so patience and good will are running pretty thin across the island nation.

Lorraine feels the immense weight and responsibility of being queen, especially to a struggling and damaged country, and she also worries how Zane will fit in to her new (or old, rather) royal life.

So when Alex, her old friend and the prince of Trilland's ally, makes a surprise visit to Trilland, she's forced to grapple with what her life used to be and what it has now become. And when Alex starts asking questions about what happened in her year-long absence, Lorraine starts to wonder how long she can keep her bout of amnesia a secret. What is the answer to her country's problems? And what will she be willing to do to find it?
