The Queen’s Crown–the final book in the Court of Midnight and Deception trilogy–is out now! I’m so excited! I really fell in love with the characters in this trilogy, and I hope you find their ending just as satisfactory as I do!

To thank all of you Champions for your support and loyalty, I’ll release a free short story once The Queen’s Crown gets approximately 100 votes. (That’s 100 votes total, across Goodreads and all the Amazon stores!) I can’t tell you how grateful I am for your honest and thoughtful reviews. They help with advertising of course, but the big difference is that you guys give excellent reviews that help other readers figure out if the Queen’s Crown is something they’d be interested in or not. Thank you so much!
Okay, I’m sure you’d all rather be reading right now so I’ll cut this short. Have a lovely day and weekend, Champions, and I really, really hope this last book in Leila’s story makes you laugh.
*Update to anyone who cares*
So, finished the first book! I’m kinda mad at myself because when I saw the book in my recommendation on my kindle I was like heck yeah! Now I realized that I have to read Hazel and Killian’s story. I can’t wait to get to the rest of the series. I love these books as much as I love my hamster. And my hamster is a literal Queen. Only the softest bedding will do! 😜👑😍. I appreciate anyone who can write such magnificent books! I have a couple of my own but none are published. I have ” A Siren’s Stunning Silence” ” The Elven Embers” and ” The Cry Of A Beautiful Banshee.” All my books are stand-alone but are all placed in the same realm. They are all clean romances! My favorite book is definitely “The Elven Embers”
Back Story: The Elven Embers.
A Long time ago a prophecy was told about a young elven warrior who would slay the humans that threatened the borders for the two realms. Rika didn’t think twice about the prophecy, considering she wasn’t a warrior. When her Dad dies in a battle, the king demands Rika’s family supplies another man. The thing is it’s only Rika and her mother. When Rika’s Mother volunteers to be a healer in the war, Rika fears she’ll lose both of her parents so instead she goes. For a month Rika trains as a warrior. But when the time comes for her to take a life she can’t do it. She certainly can’t after the human she’s supposed to kill is kind to her. Can Rika save this man and herself or will there have to be a sorrowful sacrifice?
( this was mostly a summary Lol)
If you want to know the Siren and the Banshee’s backstories feel free to comment below and ask!
I wanna see the other stories! Do you have a publish date planned, or is it TBD?
Hi Ananya! The truth is, I’m not sure! I would love to have my books published but it takes a lot of work! Though I would love for that to happen! Here are the other backstories!
A Siren’s Stunning Silence:
For generations, there have been seven siren sisters who rule the seas side by side. The sea is their mother and their song is their voice. When Eva sees a young man walking the surface all she wants to do is go talk to him. But anyone who hears a siren’s voice suffocates. Eva desperate to talk to a man she knows nothing about, ventures deep into the sea hoping she may find answers. Instead, she finds the Sea’s sister, Ocean. Ocean bent on revenge gives Eva the chance of a lifetime. To lose her voice. As she makes the deal she finds she can no longer live in her world. She’ll have to live with humans. But with no seventh siren singing the sea begins to fall. Can Eva get what she wants? Or will she have to give her freedom up?
Cry of a Beautiful Banshee:
Deep in the Eternal forest, lives the only banshee left of her clan. Lana wanderers the woods wailing. Anyone who hears will die of site. Lana has taken many lives. But she must if she wants to live. When a young man walks past her wailing and doesn’t flinch, Lana is intrigued. How did he resist the curse of the wail? Another thing is how did he go right through her?
Jason is an assassin. He has trained for so long but is still underestimated. To prove himself to the other men he decides that he is going to kill the banshee once and for all. When he walks through the woods and sees her he is shocked at her beauty. And even more shocked he didn’t die on the spot. When he walks right through her he realizes somethings up. What has protected him from the deadly wail?
I love romance! Mostly because I will never have Eva’s Lana’s or Rika’s love stories! Fun fact, Greek used to think Sirens were a bird with a human head! Still killing sailors though! Thank you for caring enough to be interested. It means a lot!
LegendaryCheesecake! * You can call me legend* 😜😜☺️✌
You’re welcome! I’ve been looking for more books to read-i’ve been swallowing all the suggestions my kindle gives me-and all fantasy is wanted! (quick question: are all of them fractured fairytales? I’m pretty sure ‘A Siren’s Stunning Silence’ is based on the little mermaid-by the way, cool thing about the greek sirens-something I hope stay fiction-sorry, scientists who love creating hybrid species!)
Haha yes a Sirens Stunning Silence is based on the The Little Mermaid but it’s one of those books where at the end your ” holy cow, wait reread!” Funny thing is I’ve read my book at least 10 times and I’m the one who wrote it! If you like retelling of Disney princess look into The Daughter of Eville series! So good! Its were I got my idea to get into writing some more! My entire life I’ve been a dork. Now I’m just tapping into that side of me! Romance wise my favorite ( no offense to Kitty bc her books are awesome) is the selection series. 2 men, one a soldier one a prince. One girl! Romance is definitely the top priority of this book! The Cry of a Beautiful Vanished was created all on my own! No fractured fairy tale! Rika’s story could be like Mulans story! Is that how you spell it??? I appreciate you reaching out to me! Means a lot!
Legend
Thanks!-for telling me about the fractured fairytale part and reminding me Mulan is a thing! And, yea, pretty sure that’s spelled correctly(though you might not want to trust a disaster of spelling queen like me!)
So I’m reading the first book. ( Of the Midnight and Deception series) I’m about halfway through and I am AMAZED! What makes it better, the author has her very own awesome website and …The author gets back to you! I’ve always loved reading it’s the biggest joy in my life besides hamsters. Elves are defiantly my favorite magical creature. Or all fae in general. If you haven’t watched it yet I suggest The Dragon Prince series on Netflix. ( If that didn’t clarify it’s a show.) Pending on the fourth season, fans are addicted to the Xadia realm with Elven Assassins, Mage apprentices, and overall amazingness. Filled with romance and cute adoraburrs, you’ll be addicted! I suggest all for 7 and up considering it does have dark magic!
This was an amazing series!
By the way…I want a summer hawk!!
I think personally I’d want a winter wolf! (She could live inside the house with me! It would be cramped, but it could be done!)
Loved it and already left a review! I had an emergency come up yesterday which is why it took a while extra day to read it. Now for the reread! Can’t wait to see the story behind the pony! I know commissioning artwork is expensive but I was thinking maybe you could do an art challenge with your readers for who can do the best likeness of the royal portrait? Thanks for all you do and the wonderful book!
Hahahah, that sounds like a fantastic idea! I would love to see everyone’s creative take on royal portraits! (Glad you enjoyed it, btw!)
Oh and I agree that Fell has a really punchable face, SPOILER FOR SECOND BOOK!when he was acting like all total jerk with Queen Verdant and deposited that shadow monster in the Night Court, I was really tempted to strangle him.
Hahah, Fell is the character I love to hate and pick on! He is SUCH good comic relief! (Though I don’t think he’d appreciate knowing how Leila and Rigel bonded over their mutual desire to punch him.)
I love this series so much, one night I was literally dreaming that it was already 15th and I was able to read this book.
Thanks Kitty for such an amazing series!( its in my top 10 favorites list!
I have read all of Kitty’s books and the Queen’s Crown is just as good as her other one’s!
I’m super excited for the next series. I think it might be about Queen Rime.
Thank you Kitty for all of your hard work!😊
I’ve been scheming about who the next series will follow! Rime was one of my guesses as well, but so far I’ve got my sights set on Lady Chrysanthe (possibly even King Fell??)!
I definitely think it’s King Fell. Did you notice Rigel’s comment about finding someone who’ll punch him in the face? That’s the same kind of foreshadowing Ms. Shea used to show that Leila was the next lead
Yes-would love to see who he’d be paired up with! I’m going to have to reread HoBaM to find the foreshadowing about Leila though😉
It’s just some little comments in the party in book 3. Although, the coffee stop in book 2 does reveal her character
Ooh, I know who it is. I won’t say MC’s name in case Kitty wants to officially announce it herself, but… since she already told us on the discord, I think it’s safe to give you a hint: werewolf.
Since it’s werewolf, I’m guessing Chase! Or Pre Dominant Harka!
(Though I was sort of hoping we could get a series with the Paragon’s mysterious elf contact)
Is it Phillipa? We didn’t see much of her, but what we did see was very telling: she doesn’t wear heels often and there’s tension between her and Alpha Grayson.
Ooh, yes! I’d love a series about either or those characters, especially for King Fell because I dearly want to see him meet someone who will punch him in the face. I do adore Chrysanthe though, and Rime is quite interesting.
I’ve been thinking about who will do that! Maybe a new character? Or a friend of Leila that hates him even more?
Haha maybe. 😀
Oh, and I also agree King Fell is very punchable.
Oh my goodness it was sooo good! I really hope that another series is made, but about the Paragon. The poor guy needs his own series. There are still so many questions I have about his quest and stuff, also I love Leila and Hazel’s world too much for the series about it to end.
The main series will continue with the Paragon’s…purposes? Quest?? So we haven’t seen the end of him by a long shot! (Though the next series is a bit of a side-journey because it won’t involve the Paragon’s…goal. But Isabel is right, it’s about werewolves!)
I took the day off from work so I could read it. Totally worth it! I laughed so much and thought that Rigel and Leila were just so fun to read about! Thank you for yet another excellent trilogy!
Without any spoilers I have to say that while I didn’t get all the details right, I was suspicious of the right guy from the start, but there were time when you had me doubting my suspicions. So very well done. And so much fun to read!
High five for suspicions/twists! 😉 And so glad Rigel and Leila won you over and that this last book was worth the day off!! I really do enjoy this writing the trilogies like this. But I FINALLY feel ready to face Angelique’s #4–which I’m really happy about. Last fall I really just wanted to run away and hide whenever I thought about it.
HaHa-I know how you feel-
Me: *reading and pigging out on snacks
My mom: I thought you had homework?
Me: *jumps back into bed I didn’t wake up today!! I overslept, and missed school!! Don’t make me do that stuff!!! Pleeeeeeaaaasssse???!!!!
But on the bright side, really excited for Angel’s book 4!
I’m so glad you are feeling better about facing the next Angelique project. It’s such an excellent series that it deserves to be done in the right frame of mind. Good luck with it, and, for goodness sake, have fun while you write it! It’s a much beloved series. My parents were just asking about when Book 4 will come out! I have to tell you that I have a hard time interesting my parents in some of the fun books I read, but your Angelique books are one of the few series they are excited to have me read to them. That is HUGE for them. I just think it’s so cute that they ask me about what they latest news is on its release. 🙂
Yayyy!
I was laughing so much! And that plot twist, I never would have thought-(cuts off to keep out spoilers). You are amazing, Kitty!
Hahah, thanks, Ananya! 🙂 I’m glad you liked the twist!! (I was sweating the whole trilogy because I had to make sure all the fae spoke the truth 100% of the time, which made it a bit harder to pull off!)
It is amazing …….
Though i wish King Fell was real, I could punch him, even if he is not the bad guy
He just sounds very punchable …..
me: OH MYYYYY GOOOD ,ITS OUT ! immediately locking myself in my room
Mom: What are you doing ?
Me : *throwing my shoe at her while i open my kindle *
Mom : Ohhhhhh ,the new book came out, did’t it ?
My mom: Can you help me clean up a bit?
Me: give me a minute, i’m reading!
My mom: 2 minutes.
1 hour later . . .
My mom: Where are you?!
I’m not done with it just yet, but so far I am loving it! Can’t wait for this plot twist you all speak of . . . *creepy smile and music*
Miss Shea, anyone, just tell me, how many reviews do I need to leave to get the shorts? I need all the shorts!
This was the best book ever! I almost died from pure adorable-ness overload!
Great idea! Write a million reviews so you get the shorts faster! Genius-how did I not think of this?!
Just reread the post and 100 reviews!
I just got to the major plot twist at around 75%…..You did good Kitty, you did good.
I totally did stay up really late last night….. hehehehehe
IT WAS SO GOOD!!! Your writing skills are amazing!!
Also…. I was VERY surprised at the end. I never EVER expected that…
I meant that as I totally didn’t stay up to read… but I was so frantic in my typing because of my excitement I didn’t exactly finish the thought…
So glad you enjoyed the twist! 😉 And thank you!!
I’m still re-reading Court of Moonlight! Argh, was really hoping to be done so I could start QC already!
I’m sure it will be wonderful. Thank you so much for writing, Kitty!
😉 I hope you enjoyed the re-read! It’s pretty safe to assume it’s going to make that last book all the more satisfying to read without saying spoilers…
