How did Wren end up with the fate of a magical world on her shoulders?

From the trusted, bestselling children's author of the I Escaped Series comes a thrilling adventure of friendship, courage, and magic.

Wren is hiding a dangerous secret - and it's only a matter of time before someone finds out.

Can she protect herself from the shadows that haunt her path - and her heart?

Wren grew up hidden away in a school attic. Her only friend was a boy who waved to her from below. She never suspected he was guarding a secret as deep as her own.

She dreamed her parents would someday come for her. The magic-filled truth is far darker than she could have imagined. Her father was a dreaded, enchanted king. Was he truly the villain everyone claims?

Wren is prophesied to follow in his footsteps and destroy the world of Everlea. But she's determined to change her fate.

Her new friends have no idea she's the future queen. They believe she's their protector. How long can she keep up the lie?

Wren's tiny chipmunk companion may be her only hope - but he's hiding more than she knows.

With each day in Whiteshadow Forest, the truth becomes harder to hide and the danger grows. Her friendships - and her destiny - are on a collision course.

A thrilling fantasy perfect for readers aged 10-14, book one in The Griffin Queen series is a journey through friendship, magic, and forgotten legend. Ideal for fans of Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, and The Chronicles of Narnia. Join Wren as she unlocks the mysteries of Whiteshadow Forest, battles the shadows of her past, and fights to rewrite her future in a world that fears her power.
