FRAGILE: Enter the EPIC FANTASY world of the Five Kingdoms. Forbidden magic, court politics, and treason, with a dark undertone of espionage.

Lady Betha Fontmaness is a storm of repressed ambition, trapped by a noble lineage that demands she marry well rather than serve her crown. When a bone-shattering accident reveals she can knit her own flesh back together with magic, her terrified family forces her into a life of silence and secrets. But the illicit thrill of using her power is a poison she cannot quit, even as the shadow of the executioner’s axe looms over every miracle.

Betrothed to an elderly lord and thrust into a court of vipers, Betha’s world narrows to a desperate game of survival. When a false accusation strikes her family, she is plunged into a web of espionage where the only way to unmask the guilty is to embrace the very darkness she was taught to fear. With a usurper reaching for the throne, Betha must decide if saving the kingdom is worth the price of her own life.

Can she dismantle a conspiracy before her illegal gift is exposed, or will her pursuit of justice lead her straight to the gallows?

Fragile is a gripping fantasy origins story and a standalone entry point into The Five Kingdoms series. If you like political intrigue, forbidden magic, and defiant heroines, then this British-voiced tale of treachery and transformation is for you.
