The King's Decree (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798224198856)

King Gelpher, Janna's grandfather, banished her from the castle just after she was born. So disappointed that she was a girl, he writes a decree that will forever ban her from being the queen. Janna is four, when Del Ruggar, rescues her from the orphanage and raises her as his own daughter. But Janna feels something is missing. Who are her actual parents? She searches for her birth family and discovers she is the heir apparent to Calbria's throne. Janna has known she must build an army to defeat the Castillian Empire, rulers of Calbria, since before she was born. Then she can claim the throne. All of this is happening with Janna against the backdrop of her falling in love with Tristan Eller, her lifelong friend, and the challenges they face together.

But opposition is building against Janna as she wages war with the Castillians and the evil emperor Kristoff. A second copy of Gelpher's decree exists in the hands of a man who wants to topple Janna for his own gain. But he wants to wait for her to kill Kristoff and ascend to the throne before executing his plan. The question is, will he succeed before Janna topples him?
