The Queen Underneath
The Queen Underneath | Stacey Filak
25 posts | 2 read | 47 to read
In a city on the brink of war, it isn't a king that the people need to save thembut a thief queen from Under. Yigris is a world dividedwhere aristocrats in Above rule from grand palaces, and thieves, sex workers, and assassins reign in the shadowy tunnels of Under. When the leaders of Above and Under are both murdered on the same night, the fissure between the two opposite worlds grows and suspicion threatens to break the tenuous peace. Gemma, a former orphan-thief and new queen of Under, and Tollan, heir to the Above throne, must salvage a truce to rescue the city. But they soon discover that the conflict is far bigger than two murders, as the city falls into an enchanted sleep and a cage of deadly brambles slowly ensnares the streets, buildings, and tunnels of both districts. With the fate of Yigris at stake, only Gemma and Tollan have the power to prevent another civil war from tearing their world apart forever.

I promise, this‘ll be the last time I talk about my book. But if any of you enjoy fantasy with a taste of modern social issues, gay kings and sex-priests, strong, confident plus-sized heroines and action packed pages, do please give it a chance. Available today in hardcover and ebook, wherever books are sold. AND if you purchase in the month of May, send me a picture of your receipt at stacey@staceyfilak.com and I‘ll send you a signed bookplate.

LibrarianRyan Talk about it all you like!! 7y

And finally, Isbit. I think her aesthetic says all you need to know about her.

Ohhhh. Look what was in #bookmail today. I didn't think I was going to get one. I requested this so long ago I thought I had been deemed #unworthy. But it's now in my hot little hands. Wonder if I can get it read before it's may release date?

It joins other retellings in my collection as it's supposed to be a play on Sleeping Beauty.

And even better, the author is a Liten. I talked her into it a few months ago. #litsywelcomewagon #LitsyAuthor

staceyfilak Gah! Sorry I missed this... things have been a wee bit hectic. So glad that you got a copy, @LibrarianRyan! I hope you enjoy. 🤞🏻 7y

Andrew65 Thanks for the tag @MrBook , but why are we limiting ourselves to only being the best book community on the planet, I think it is the best be in the Universe! 😂 (edited) 7y
Andrew65 Welcome @staceyfilak , you‘ve made a great decision to join this wonderful brilliant amazing supportive community, the only down side is we are all feeding each other‘s addiction. 😂 I am intrigued by the wonderful book cover, I love book covers & often use those to judge whether I want to read a book (reading the blurb can spoil the book IMHO) but not sure what this cover says or what type of book it is. 👇 (edited) 7y
