YA
Keepers' Chronicles series.
With her family divided and presumed dead, Johanna (The Storyspinner), rightful heir of Santarem, joins love interest Rafi to fight a villainous Keeper from the other side of the Wall, who is enslaving people using magical collars. Complex romance cushions the war-driven momentum, and quickly alternating narrators in the finale accelerates the magical battle to a satisfying conclusion.

YA
Keepers' Chronicles series.
After her father's death, Johanna spins stories to support her family, unaware that she's the lost princess in her tales (and heir to the throne). Action quickly unfolds from various vantage points, revealing secrets as disparate subplots merge, including magical Keepers from across the wall, an honor-bound duke, and deadly assassins. There's a lot going on, but the fast pace will keep readers engaged.
