Lucy Wickshire is feared across realms because of her family history. The thraines have always been a clan of passive warriors that one dared not provoke. Still, it did not stop those above from breaking the pact and descending into the rankless world to kill Lucy's mother. Seeing her mother die before her eyes, Lucy had understood then; she was not a child anymore, she was a threat. It was either them or her. So she straightened her back and reigned down fear that put her mother's legacy to shame. As long as she lived, all realms must kneel or burn. 
You are about to read the accounts of Lucy Wickshire and the millions of bodies burned as a backdrop to her rage.

If You are still reading here, I have started reposting on the other free Lucy Wickshire. For those who are confused, there are two versions of this book on this platform. This happened during the signing. The other one does not have locked chapters and I have started posting there because I am considering the future chapters of this book going free as a perk, since this author has been on hiatus too long and most of you have left. Thus, this is an olive branch to return. Right now, the other Lucy Wickshire has not caught up with this one in chapters, but go ahead and add it to your library and vote on it to get it up the charts.

Lucy Wickshire

Queen Raine opened her eyes to a dark oak ceiling. She looked round, trying to get her bearing. Her eyes met the inside of a wooden cottage. She found that she was lying on the soft beddings and confusion set in. She could hear voices from behind the closed door. She groaned at her stabbing neck pain as she tried to get up. She made her way to the door and pushed it open as softly as she could, but the door betrayed her; creaking loudly, announcing her presence to those on the other side. 


She recognized those in the room, they were Lord Morge, her mother and two ministers. 


"Mother." she greeted. The ministers dipped their heads in a bow when she walked in. 


"You are awake, good. We are about to leave." Lady Teel said. 


"Back to the capital. It has been almost two weeks since the invasion. I hear the prince's coronation is near." Lady Teel answered. 


"Coronation? What about His Majesty?" Queen Raine asked.
