OLDER FICTION
Summerill, Erin

Once a King

(4) YA After the kingdom of Malam's purge of Channelers (women with magical abilities), Lirra's father disappears on a clandestine mission. As teenage Channeler Lirra tracks him down, she crosses paths with Malam's newly minted king, Aodren, as he struggles to lead Malam to recovery and reparation at an international joust. Highly detailed (and laboriously paced) intrigue and some romance ensue in this fantasy set in the world of Summerill's Clash of Kingdoms series.
