Queen of the 13 Villages

In a land where women rule and destiny is woven through bloodlines and talismans, the Kingdom of Benin stands at the edge of ruin. Monarch Šahíyena, a ruler of wisdom and compassion, clings to her people’s survival as famine spreads and whispers of a curse grow louder. Her talisman—a rare red stone said to command time itself—marks her for greatness, but also draws shadows toward her throne. Beyond her borders, betrayal festers. Khalid, a druid consumed by envy and ambition, sheds his family’s blood and forges a pact with fate itself, wielding an earth talisman that bends nature to his will. As his path collides with Šahíyena’s, the ancient portals between worlds begin to stir, threatening to unleash war on both realms. Meanwhile, Efosa, a warrior orphaned by massacre, wrestles with loyalty, love, and his role as one of the chosen protectors. When he meets Omono—a girl torn from another world, bearing secrets of Khalid’s bloodline—their bond becomes the fragile hope that might save or doom them all. From the cursed forests of Ki to the hidden obelisks between worlds, destinies intertwine in a sweeping tale of betrayal, sacrifice, forbidden love, and the relentless fight for survival. The Monarch Saga is an epic fantasy series of kingdoms and curses, where talismans carry the weight of gods, and even time itself may bow to those brave—or foolish—enough to wield its power.
