From #1 Bestselling author Morgan Rice comes a sweeping new fantasy series.
17 year old Ceres, a beautiful, poor girl in the Empire city of Delos, lives the harsh and unforgiving life of a commoner. By day she delivers her father’s forged weapons to the palace training grounds, and by night she secretly trains with them, yearning to be a warrior in a land where girls are forbidden to fight. With her pending sale to slavehood, she is desperate.
18 year old Prince Thanos despises everything his royal family stands for. He abhors their harsh treatment of the masses, especially the brutal competition—The Killings—that lies at the heart of the city. He yearns to break free from the restraints of his upbringing, yet he, a fine warrior, sees no way out.
When Ceres stuns the court with her hidden powers, she finds herself wrongfully imprisoned, doomed to an even worse life than she could imagine. Thanos, smitten, must choose if he will risk it all for her. Yet, thrust into a world of duplicity and deadly secrets, Ceres quickly learns there are those who rule, and those who are their pawns. And that sometimes, being chosen is the worst that can happen.
SLAVE, WARRIOR, QUEEN tells an epic tale of tragic love, vengeance, betrayal, ambition, and destiny. Filled with unforgettable characters and heart-pounding action, it transports us into a world we will never forget, and makes us fall in love with fantasy all over again.
Book #2–ROGUE, PRISONER, PRINCESS–is also available!

I’ll learn something from it
If you’re into medieval times novels, this series is for you. I’m a slow reader in that I don’t often get time to read. And when I do I’m exhausted. But this book was hard to put down. Ceres the main character is awesome!
Love a great heroine story line. This was one you definitely wanted to read it to the end hoping for her to win.
No depth, did not engage me, too implausible. Sorry, I always admire folks’ writing endeavors and wish I could be more positive.
Did not find it interesting, did not finish.
too predictable; jumps to too many unlikely situations and resolutions
Wonderful series! These characters are believable, not always likeable, but not all characters are. Ceres is inspiring, and Thanos struggles greatly as a royal who believes in treated people with compassion. A female villain who will leave you seething for revenge! A must read!!!
Great read. I couldn’t put it down and then it ended in a cliffhanger. Bummer!
This has potential to be a good story- but it’s SO poorly written it was hard for me to get through. The “twists” were super obvious and it’s basically pulling cliches from mulitple genres. I got through the whole book but I definitely cannot recommend it.
It was hard to remain engaged. I’m one of those who believes a book started needs to be finished, so I’ll pick it up again.
I am hooked!!! Already bought the next book!!! I love Ceres and Thanos!!!
Realmente interesante, me encantó.
Uno de los mejores que he leído
It was sad that a mother was so jealous of her daughter that she beat her and tried to sell her. It was also sad that her father,who loved her,didn’t stand up to his wife to insure she treated their daughter well.
Starting reading and didn’t Know it was a series till I starting looking at other books written by this author and was happy to see there are more books in this series. Have already bought the next book. Characters are interesting and well developed.
Couldn’t put it down!!
Looking for Book 2
Storyline did often not make sense confusing at times. Fast read but would not read another of this series
Kept my interest.
It was pretty good book a bit confusing at parts, but an ok book
Pretty average. Very formulaic.
