Nameless Queen is a beautiful book by author Rebecca McLaughlin.
A thrilling story of identity and family wrapped in epic, political world-building. Once I started reading, I couldn’t stop… on my list of favorite fantasy stories.
A girl must make a name for herself – or die trying – in this royal fantasy world where an unknown farmer becomes the ultimate ruler. How long can she keep the crown if people want her dead?
Everyone expected the king’s daughter to inherit the throne.
I am Anonymous, a class of citizens with no respect, we don’t even have a name. Dozens of us have been missing for months and no one seems to care.
There’s no denying the floating tattoo on my arm. I will be the queen. In a palace where the corridors are more dangerous than the streets, how can I rule? And what happens to Nameless if I don’t?
The author has created a magical adventure for the reader to immerse in. YA fantasy, this is a story about a girl who can be anyone. Anyone who has never risen above poverty is looking at those who have despised, if they ever noticed her, towards her and others of her kind. Survival depends on scams, pickpockets and finding a place to rest where you won’t get killed in your sleep.
Imagine that same person, at the age of seventeen, winning the lottery. In this case, she just won being crowned queen of the whole land.
It sounds like a dream come true until she discovers that anyone can kill her in the next few weeks with the result that they become king or queen. She basically won a death sentence. Readers are taken on a journey as the “Nameless Queen”, aka Coin, must complete the biggest scam job of her life.
