A Queen Comes to Power was SUCH a good book omg Reylan😍😍😍 that’s all I can say I’m just so in love with him
“Faythe singled him out as their leader. Only, he didn’t wear a crown of any kind on top of his silver-white hair, bright even from the moment she fixed eyes on him at the bottom of the stone path.
