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!

Great writer! Keeps the pages turning!
I liked the characters, but does anything good every happen to the heroine?
Enjoyed this storyline very much, plenty of action and keeps you interested.
I would let my friend read this. I like it very much. Thank you. Sandra McIntyre
Loved it
Many stories and books in this compilation. Enjoyable introduction to new characters.
I did not enjoy this book. Couldn’t finish it. Boring.
The story has potential but it’s characters don’t appear to have brains and keep doing stupid things.
Love the books from Morgan Rice. This series is more interesting with each new addition.
So far so good, want to read a couple more.
Interesting characters, and an easy read.
Synopsis says Ceres is 17 but book opens on her 18th birthday. Not a big detail, but someone obviously wasn’t paying attention. Story moves very quickly. Too quickly in places, making it confusing. Enjoyed the idea of the story, but the writing is a bit juvenile in places. Not enough character development. Hoping for more in the next of the series.
I really like this character. I have read the free books #1 & 2.
The fight scenes are really distracting though. The descriptions of fights attempt to be move by move but often do not make sense. Sometimes a character prevails by acting “before her opponent could recover” or some other such comment. I’m a fool for magic, extra-human quickness, or obscurely named techniques that allow a practiced character to defeat bigger stronger opponents, but I hope the author can improve in this area because I would struggle to buy more of this series as is.
Held my interest
Needs serious editing for continuity. Adds in types of scenes like she’s checking off a list and not actually raising tension or building a story. Formulaic and predictable. Tries to copy so many other stories – and the book comes off feeling very second rate.
Easy to read. There’s a lack of story and character development throughout. Also, the vocabulary is not consistent going from formal to informal. Doing so disrupt the reader and make the story less credible.
Didnt guess that ending!
OK READ, JUST NOT OVERWHELMING
Love the plot and characters
Sounded like a good book when it started out, but it drags on and on. Clearly to make the story longer to sell more books. By the time I got to book #4 I had to stop reading.
