Breeana Puttroff - 2015
    It's even harder when you're about to be the first ruling queen your kingdom has ever had -- and you grew up in an entirely different world. But somehow, Quinn and William will figure things out together. The First Queen is a short story (around 10,000 words/40 pages) of some fun moments surrounding Quinn's coronation and her early marriage. NOTE: The novella comes between Blooms of Consequence (Dusk Gate Chronicles, #4) and A Christmas Rose (Dusk Gate Chronicles, #4.5), for fans of the series. I hope you enjoy this little taste of series history in preparation for the release of Book Seven.
