The race is on. Beware the henchmen.
Fale and her friends are on an epic journey to find the magic machine that will open dimensions, allowing her to rescue the mage slaves—her people—from the hands of an evil Source Wizard. Still accepting her role as queen, she welcomes her new powers. But the group is not alone. Henchmen wait for them when they least expect it. Tensions are already high, … expect it. Tensions are already high, but when Izzy—Alloy City’s socialite—decides to wage war on Fale, the situation becomes toxic.
Fale is devastated. She’s lost her way of life, her identity, her guardian, and now her best friend. Worse, she pushed Keron—her hot boxer crush—away so he could focus on his job, but sharing a tent with him is excruciating when passions boil over.
She’d give it all up if it weren’t for her trusty sidekick, Lisle—the wizard—who loves her, but wants to see her succeed and to find his own purpose.
They sail to an island in her visions that no one believes is there. Fale is relieved to be on her way, but fear of what awaits her, plus the constant state of tension in her group, immobilizes her. She’s miserable, just trying to make every choice a good one.
Things will never be the same as they were back home, she will never be the same. Fale doesn’t know what they will find once they reach the island. She doesn’t know why she’s having memories of Queen Effailya’s life, making her magic misfire at inopportune times. She has no clue how they’ll manage to get a huge machine onto the boat and back to the mountain mages’ estate. Impatient for answers, she seeks clues to the mystery. She may find everything she’s looking for—she might not—but the price for winning will be higher than she ever imagined.
★If you like epic quests, sword and sorcery, mages, wizards, love triangles and plot twists, you’ll love this complicated emotional must-read. You won’t want to put it down. Fans of the first book, The Key of F, The Hunger Games, Eve, and The Rise of Isaac will enjoy this character-driven story.

What a great story with a twist, I love it. The characters continue to grow so that you love them all the more or hate them. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. I hope that Fale and Keron figure things out and don’t let others deceive them.
Writing colleague Jenn Haskin delivers another page-turning YA fantasy/suspense/romance story filled with believable, sometimes tormented characters embroiled in a desperate quest while also facing intense interpersonal drama, attractions, and betrayals. All set in a fascinating world of magic, mages, wizards, and villains, but with familiar items such as pizza, pack mules, and long mountain hikes. Fale’s character arc from uncertain maiden to an adult woman ready to take on a regal role forms the central theme. Bring on the third book in the trilogy, set for release this March.
Fale, Keron, Lisle and Izzy all set out to find a machine that could save her people. Fale is not the only one looking for the machine putting their trip and their lives in danger.
On this journey Fale does not only have to face enemies and danger but her friends as well or more like one friend. Izzy has her eyes set on Keron and taking him away from Fale. There may be a little trouble in paradise so to speak between Fale and Keron but all couples have their ups and downs at times that doesn’t mean they are not together or don’t love each other things happen.
Izzy is being very mean, cruel and ugly with the lies she keeps telling Keron to win him over. Fale is such a sweetheart in how she is handling Izzy and Keron. Keron believes that Izzy is just trying to be a friend. How can you be so naive about what is right in front of you? Izzy and Keron both make me so mad and sad at the same time but especially Izzy. How can she do something like that to a friend?
The Queen’s Heart shows us more of who Fale is and what kind of person she is and how she handles certain situations. Fale has a great big heart that cares more for others than she does herself. Fale has come a long way in The Queen’s Heart she has grown and she is learning to take matters into her own hands instead of always relying on others.
The Queen’s Heart gives us inside detail on each of the characters hearts and their relationships with each other where The Key of F gave us more about the world itself.
Like The Key of F once I picked up The Queen’s Heart there was no way I could put it down until I had turned the last page and now I can’t wait to dive into the last book The Finial Rescue to see how it all turns out and to get to know all the characters better and to see where their next journey takes them.
I highly recommend The Queen’s Heart to all fans of fantasy and romance.
I think this was my least favorite book of the trilogy but it was still such a great book that I could not put it down! I laughed, I cried, there were times I wanted to scream. All the things I love in a book. LOL!
