About The Puppet Throne: An Adventure Fantasy Begins by Jay Roshni:
When the puppet breaks her strings, the empire begins to burn.
For ten years, Queen Zeren of Izakura has been little more than a puppet on her own throne. Controlled by the Tricilium, her shadowy council of three, Zeren’s rule is a carefully curated illusion, her choices stolen and her voice silenced. But to the continent beyond the capital, she is a cruel and heartless sovereign.
Within the palace, only one person sees the truth.
When Zeren’s maid uncovers a plot that threatens the queen’s life, she is determined to save the mistress who is the only family she has. With the reluctant help of the crown prince of Athora, they escape their cage.
As they cross lands that curse her rule, the weight of what was done in her name becomes impossible to ignore. The people want justice. The rebels want blood.
For the first time in her life, Zeren must decide for herself and break free from a decade of learned helplessness. Because if she remains helpless, her empire will burn in front of her very eyes.
The Puppet Throne is the first book in a fast-paced political fantasy trilogy where escape is only the beginning, and power must be learned before it can be claimed.
(This trilogy is part of the Thisaurian Tales, a shared universe that also includes the Shields of Seiflands series and the upcoming fantasy murder mystery series, Mages & Demons.)
The book is free from 19th August to 23rd August 2026 to celebrate the release of the final book in the trilogy
