ELSPETH GREGORSDOTTIR W/ MADDIE KAY: THE DROWNED QUEEN
Join us as we welcome Elspeth Gregorsdóttir in conversation with Maddie Kay on SATURDAY, JUNE 13 at 6:00 PM to celebrate the release of her new novel THE DROWNED QUEEN.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
After a century of servitude in the Duskhold for the crime of being loved by a Fae, a woman walks into the cosmic sea seeking her end.
But fate has other plans.
She awakens in the mortal world, her youth restored and starlight and shadow stirring in her veins. What begins as survival becomes a rewriting of destiny as she infiltrates the very Fae court that once imprisoned her, determined to rekindle the love she lost and reclaim the life stolen a hundred years ago.
Beneath the court’s watchful eye-and the looming presence of a wicked goddess who wants her power for herself-her second chance will either redeem her… or unravel the fragile balance between worlds entirely.
