Paralleled

Rose is a post-recession struggling graduate who is suddenly taken into a mirrored, shadowy world, where she learns she is the new queen of Iudex. She is rescued by the king of Ignusia, who she later discovers to be the boy who disappeared from their world 10 years prior - Declan. With the fate of the kingdom lying in her hands, she must learn fast while avoiding the entanglements of war, escape, and love.

“Give your right as ruler to me. Let the people see you are wise and have their interests at heart. Let someone who knows what they need, protect them.” She froze. The ring on her finger suddenly felt heavier; the burden of her kingdom pulled down on her bone, begging to slip off and fall away. The battle isn’t over, especially for Rose. Now as Queen, she faces a kingdom that is reluctant to accept her.

A year after Iudex as fallen, Rose finds her options dwindling as time begins to run out for the four kingdoms. Evading capture from Viatorians, being nearly killed by Declan, and avoiding fulfilling the destiny of the curse Amhar placed on her has changed her very soul. She needs to find a way to break the curse to save Declan from the possession of the Fahmet, but she can't do it on her own.
