Description
She's crossed the Divide into the magical realm of the Wyldes. Now you need to help her figure out why ...
When twenty-year-old Penryn Trickett crosses the Divide from the human town she calls home to the mysterious land of the Wyldes, she soon meets broodingly dark and handsome fae Rafrael. With his lethal strength and enigmatic air, she finds herself as much enthralled as infuriated by the stranger. But Raf is the only one who can guide Pen through this beautiful and deadly world.
Who exactly is Penryn - how did she emerge in the land of fae, centaurs, mermen and high priestesses? Why can she read their language? And most importantly, why does she wear a symbol of a Great House of the Wyldes around her neck, a piece of jewelry gifted to her by her late mother?
Queen of Swords is a thrilling story of romance, fantasy and adventure, interspersed with 30 bewitching puzzles to solve, from navigating mystical mazes to unlocking cryptic codes and more. Join Pen and Raf as they journey across the Wyldes, battling terrifying beasts and navigating the treacherous land, trying to find the answer to the biggest question of all - just who is Penryn Trickett?
