Crowns and Kingdoms

Vivi discovers, with the help of her good friend Queen Zora, that she is not an orphan, but rather the only surviving member of the royal family of Magog. Vivi leaves her friends and the comfort of Tarshish and travels to the distant kingdom of Magog to claim her throne…

In book two of the Crowns and Kingdoms series, Vivi travels to the distant kingdom of Magog to become the reigning queen. Once there, she discovers the medieval kingdom of Magog is a very wealthy kingdom, but also one cloaked in fears of witchcraft. As a healer herself, Vivi struggles to find a way to prove that using herbs for healing is a far cry from the evils of witchcraft. Eventually Queen Vivi takes a stand when she realizes that along with power and wealth comes the responsibility of doing the right thing.
