Poison and Power: Goldenheart Mysteries Book 1

The forces of evil don’t care about your social calendar.

Like most young ladies of her social class, Lady Georgia Goldenheart was expected to finish school and find a husband from a suitable family. Her Uncle Raymond was famous, and held the title Duke Goldenheart, Knight-Protector of the Three Realms from Dragons. He took her as ward when her parents died in an accident and put her in the best school for girls. The expectation was even higher for her than other girls her age. She went to the best school for girls in the Three Realms and excelled in every subject. In fact, more was expected of her than etiquette and cooking. She was taught fencing, medicine, and even the evaluation of evidence for a court of law.

She had one cousin who would inherit, but he died suddenly… and everything changed. Georgia was the sole survivor of House Goldenheart.

Her ailing uncle called her home so he could die, and she learned the true destiny of her family. The question of finding a proper husband set aside. Now, barely old enough, she is the Duchess Goldenheart. Unlike any other, she must carry on the tradition: Knight-Protector and defender of the Three Realms. Counseled by Mr. Blue, a helpful wizard, she is faced with a series of murders and crimes and uncover a growing unnatural darkness in the realm before it overwhelms all. At the same time, she wants to help her best friend, Bea, find a suitable husband.

Can Georgia solve a series of murders before they overwhelm everything and plunge her into darkness?
