In the first installment of Katherine Bogle’s Chronicles of Warshard series, which she dedicates to Shelyse, her “Lareina,” the eponymous princess, Haven, ascends to the throne while her country is on the brink of war. A despot named Kadia yearns to conquer Haven’s homeland and its neighbors, with Haven having the choice of whether to face the tyrant or flee across the sea. Even early on, Haven finds that being a Queen is not all it’s cracked up to be, what with the amount of paperwork coming with the occupation. She ultimately learns swordsmanship in her quest to stay alive, with the novel ending with hope and room for sequels. Overall, this is an enjoyable yarn that fans of fantasy young and old will likely devour.
