About this book
Princess Norah Andell is the lost heir to the kingdom of Mercia, a realm ravaged by a decade-long war against the malevolent Shadow King. After being hidden away by her father to escape a dark prophecy, Norah is eventually discovered three years later—alive, but stripped of all memory of her identity and her royal burden. She returns to a kingdom on the brink of collapse, where she must navigate a treacherous political landscape. Standing by her side is Alexander Rhemus, the fierce and loyal commander of the Mercian army. While Alexander has spent years protecting the realm and holding onto the hope of her return, he faces a heartbreaking reality: the woman he loves no longer remembers him or the bond they once shared. With an urgent need to secure a vital alliance through marriage, Alexander finds himself caught in an agonizing struggle between his absolute duty to the crown and the desires of his heart. As the winter chill deepens and the Shadow King’s influence spreads, Norah is forced to embrace a destiny she cannot recall. This high-stakes fantasy features a poignant "forgotten love" trope, where the weight of a kingdom rests on two souls fighting to reconcile their past with an uncertain future.

Image 104: A 1x1 image, likely be a tacker probe Amazon Customer](javascript:void(0)) 5 out of 5 stars NEW FAVORITE FANTASY SERIES You guys. This book was so freaking good. I’m going to do my best not to spoil anything here, but I could not put it down. I just finished the ARC for Book 2, Shadow Queen, and I am beside myself. The first chapter of this series had me absolutely HOOKED. When I tell you I am INVESTED in these characters and I have only gotten MORE invested in Shadow Queen….I don’t even know what I’m going to do while I wait for book 3. Check out what you have to look forward to if you haven’t read this one yet: Norah, Princess of Mercia and heir to the throne, is found wandering cold and alone in a mysterious forest with no memory of who she is or where she has been. She is found and recognized by a handsome soldier named Alexander who seems to know her… and know her well. ;) But where has she been for the past three years? Why has she lost her memory? There are so many questions!!! Norah returns to Mercia and is crowned Queen of a land she does not remember. As she struggles to keep her kingdom safe and navigate who she was and who she is becoming, war with Mercia’s enemy, the Shadowlands, looms ever nearer. With pressures for a marriage alliance to secure allies in the war against the Shadow King, Norah makes a sacrifice even she was not prepared to make and finds herself in a land she never imagined with a man she never anticipated by her side. Nicola Tyche is magic. The world she weaves is so all consuming, I was completely lost in it. I am rooting for everyone. Norah, Alexander, the Shadow King (Mikael), SOREN. The characters are all so complicated and morally grey and complex but vulnerable at the same time. You FEEL for them and all that each one of them has gone through. This book gives me Bridge Kingdom and Throne of Glass vibes which immediately sends it to my hall-of-fame-comfort-read-I’ll-love-them-forever books. The imagery is so beautiful and the character development is so good it hurts in all the best ways. Be prepared for a major cliffhanger at the end, but I promise you it is worth it.

To escape the seer’s vision of her capture, Mercia’s heir to the throne, Princess Norah Andell, is secreted away by her father to keep her safe. But when he dies in battle, so too dies the knowledge of where she’s hidden. She’s lost to the world—until three years later, when she’s found with no memory of who she is or the kingdom that now rests on her shoulders. A Conflicted Duty … Loyal and fearless commander of the Mercian army, Alexander Rhemus, has protected the realm against the threat of the Shadow King, awaiting Norah’s return. Not only does she hold the fate of the kingdom, but also his heart. However, when she’s found, he discovers she has no memory of him, or what was once between them. With war still looming, Norah is expected to wed and secure an alliance—one Mercia desperately needs to stand against the Shadow King. Now, with Mercia’s future at stake, Alexander finds himself torn between his duty and his heart. A Twisted Fate … Norah is thrust into a world she doesn’t know, in a role she’s unprepared for, to save a kingdom she doesn’t remember. Under the hardship of winter and a dark enemy against them, Mercia is on the verge of breaking. As things start to unravel, the Shadow King draws Norah down a path of twisted fate—and it could cost her everything. ) ©2023 Nicola Tyche (P)2023 Nicola Tyche Previous slide of product details 1.
