Welcome to a world that has all kinds of magical, mythical creatures from dragons, elves, centaurs, dwarfs, and witches along with humans who believe. Turmoil and civil war become rampant when the Old King of the Hill Lands dies. It has his heirs fighting among themselves. A prophecy leads to a farm family running for their lives with the help of their new allies. What happens when the prophecy changes? You get THE BLACKSMITH QUEEN. . .
G.A. Aiken, also known as Shelly Laurenston, writes an action-packed story of doing the right thing and family is everything unless they try to kill you. THE BLACKSMITH QUEEN has all types of mystical and magical character along with human beings, who must become allies to save their future from evil princes. This is the first G.A. Aiken book I've read but I've read Shelly Laurenston's Honey Badger Chronicles series and really enjoyed them. I see the same humor and creativity in these books as in the others. THE BLACKSMITH QUEEN is the first in the new Scarred Earth series. I look forward to getting to know these characters better.

Not the most socially adept group, but soldiers have never bothered Keeley, and rough, gruff Caid, actually seems to respect her. A good thing because the fierce warrior will be by her side for a much longer ride than any prophesy ever envisioned …
