“That wood is always in my dreams. It’s super creepy,” Miya said. “Be careful.”
Craving a contemporary fantasy escape packed with unique magic, more questions than can be answered, and a girl who has to find her fire when everything’s falling apart? Then The Queen’s Dark Ambition will pull you in and refuse to let go. It’s the kind of story that blends eerie chills with real emotional punches. Readers call it “a twisted, whimsical young adult fantasy that fuses playfulness with eeriness” (Independent Book Review).
This gripping first book in the Fairies Among Us series follows 14-year-old Stacy, a flawed and fierce heroine who is drowning in change. She has just blown up her friendship with Jas and Anjali by dropping the bombshell that she is switching schools, and they have ghosted her. Her parents are at war with her. The new house is a total nightmare. The move is the absolute worst thing ever.
When she dreams of a local wood and visits it, she jumps over the stream and leaps into a hidden realm where fairies are sacrificing a girl. Unable to contact emergency services, she tries to help, only to be confronted by a mysterious stranger who recognises her and warns her to stay away.
After she discovers local children are missing, and she hasn’t seen her phone since the night of the sacrifice, Stacy returns to the wood. Could these fairies, who hate humans, be real? And are they linked to the disappearances?
Captured by the fairies, she finds herself trapped in a deadly game of cat and mouse with their cruel, ghost-like Queen. With the help of a centuries-old wizard named Bower, she uncovers a chilling conspiracy of imprisoned children; a queen consumed by pure evil, and a hunger for the power of the stars that could doom the entire world.
Can a girl who is still figuring out who she is stand up to a queen who abandoned love long ago? If Stacy fails, the missing kids won’t be the only ones who pay. The fate of the entire world hangs in the balance, including her friends and family.
Blending Christian faith, supernatural mystery, and coming-of-age grit, The Queen’s Dark Ambition explores themes of identity, belonging, and spiritual warfare in a dangerous hidden realm. Low-spice and character-driven, this young adult fantasy is perfect for readers who enjoy clean fantasy with strong moral and faith undertones, angsty heroines finding their strength, and magic that carries real consequences.
If you love stories where faith meets the supernatural and a young girl must choose between fear and courage, step into the wood with Stacy.
