Fan Casting Queen and Conqueror

Almira was raised by a calculating father who forged her in political cunning. She’s prepared for this moment since childhood. Like pieces on a board, she lays out the players one by one. One. King Alton, the brother-killer. The spare heir who killed his brother for lust of throne. Two. The perfect seamstress. The people must admire a queen and welcome her with open arms. Even with a deadly armada behind her. Three. The Queen’s Red Guard. The group of warrior women who have one purpose; to protect the queen at all costs. Even from her husband. Even from herself.
