“That wood is always in my dreams. It’s super creepy,” Miya said. “Be careful.”

Craving a contemporary fantasy escape packed with unique magic, more questions than can be answered, and a girl who has to find her fire when everything’s falling apart? Then The Queen’s Dark Ambition will pull you in and refuse to let go. It’s the kind of story that blends eerie chills with real emotional punches. Readers call it “a twisted, whimsical young adult fantasy that fuses playfulness with eeriness” (Independent Book Review).

This gripping first book in the Fairies Among Us series follows 14-year-old Stacy, a flawed, fierce heroine who’s drowning in change. She just blew up her friendship with Jas and Anjali by dropping the bomb about switching schools… and they ghosted her. Her parents are at war with her. The new house? Total nightmare. The move? The absolute worst thing ever.

Until the woods change everything.

One jump over the stream in the eerie wood near her new home, and Stacy suddenly finds herself in a hidden fairy realm. She catches a glimpse of something unthinkable: a child about to be sacrificed. A stranger locks eyes with her, recognises her, and hisses one warning: “Stay away or you’ll be next!”

Who are these fairies who hate humans? Why are there so many missing kids? And how could anyone in the fairy realm recognise her?

Stacy can’t stay away. She dives back in, only to get trapped in a realm ruled by a cruel, ghost-like fairy. A centuries-old wizard named Bower ends up as Stacy’s reluctant guide. With Bower’s help, Stacy uncovers a chilling conspiracy: imprisoned children, a queen consumed by pure evil, and a hunger for the power of the stars that could doom the world.

Can a girl still figuring out who she is stand up to a queen who long ago abandoned love itself? If Stacy fails, the missing kids aren’t the only ones who’ll pay. The entire world hangs in the balance.

Low-spice, character-driven, and packed with emotion, The Queen’s Dark Ambition dives deep into belonging, identity, self-confidence, found family, glow-ups, hidden heritage, coming-of-age grit, and jaw-dropping plot twists. Perfect if you love clean fantasy with Christian undertones, angsty heroines who grow into their power, fish-out-of-water vibes, and magic that’s as dangerous as it is beautiful. If you like the style of authors Holly Black or Melissa Marr, you may like The Queen’s Dark Ambition.

What readers are saying:

“A modern fairy tale that fuses playfulness with eeriness, The Queen’s Dark Ambition will send you to the whimsical, yet dangerous natural world and make you feel glad you came.” — Independent Book Review

“I'd recommend The Queen's Dark Ambition to readers who like their fantasy tinged with real-life grit… It's a good fit for teens and adults who enjoy moody, character-driven tales with a sharp edge of menace. If you like your magic beautiful but dangerous, and your heroines flawed but determined, this book will keep you turning the pages.” — Literary Titan – 4 stars

“This book has lots for readers to immerse themselves in…” — LoveReading – Awarded Indie Books We Love – LoveReading4Kids

If you’re ready for fairies who aren’t cute and a girl who refuses to stay broken, grab The Queen’s Dark Ambition today. The wood is calling... will you answer?
