Today I’m excited to participate in the Bookstagram & Creative Tour for North Queen by Nicola Tyche hosted by MTMC Tours. Gripping and action-packed, North Queen is perfect for fans of thick plots with aching romance & it’s the compelling first volume to a deliciously twisting trilogy that will keep you on the edge of your seat!
Synopsis:
The Return of a Lost Heir… The kingdom of Mercia has been at war with the Shadow King and his dark army for ten years. To escape the seer’s vision of her capture, Mercia’s heir to the throne, Princess Norah Andell, is secreted away by her father to keep her safe. But when he dies in battle, so too dies the knowledge of where she’s hidden. She’s lost to the world—until three years later, when she’s found with no memory of who she is or the kingdom that now rests on her shoulders.
A Conflicted Duty… Loyal and fearless commander of the Mercian army, Alexander Rhemus, has protected the realm against the threat of the Shadow King, awaiting Norah’s return. Not only does she hold the fate of the kingdom, but also his heart. However, when she’s found, he discovers she has no memory of him, or what was once between them. With war still looming, Norah is expected to wed and secure an alliance—one Mercia desperately needs to stand against the Shadow King. Now, with Mercia’s future at stake, Alexander finds himself torn between his duty and his heart.
A Twisted Fate… Norah is thrust into a world she doesn’t know, in a role she’s unprepared for, to save a kingdom she doesn’t remember. Under the hardship of winter and a dark enemy against them, Mercia is on the verge of breaking. As things start to unravel, the Shadow King draws Norah down a path of twisted fate—and it could cost her everything.
My Thoughts:
I’m currently reading North Queen and it’s so so good so far!
I’m a sucker for anything romantasy with morally gray characters, so I am absoloutely not surprised that I’m enjoying every moment of this book!
It’s been an incredibly easy book to get into, it hooks you right from the very beginning.
Starting this book, I was very intrigued by the characters and the plot. There’s a sense of doubt. The FMC doesn’t know anything for sure and therefore we, as readers, know nothing at all. The situation creates perpetual awareness to everything that happens. You grasp onto your suspicions and every little hint and hang on to them. It’s fascinating to read as Norah and I find out about things at the same time.
I can’t wait to continue and see what happens next! In fact, I’m heading off now to read some more!

About Nicola Tyche:
Nicola Tyche is an American fiction and fantasy author writing romantic fantasy, urban fantasy, and other women’s fiction.
Writing has always been her passion, and she’s been supported and encouraged by amazing people as far back as grade school. While she’s been dreaming up stories before she could even write, she just recently started the journey toward publishing with her debut trilogy, Crowns.
Suspenseful plot twists, strong heroines, complex men, and melt-your-insides anti-heroes are ingredients for every book, and Nicola is a sucker for a good love story. She’s an obsessive writer, writing every day, and wishing she had more hours to spend with fictional characters. She reads as much as she writes, working through a couple books each week.
In October of 2022, Nicola was diagnosed with Stage II breast cancer. With early detection and the incredible team at OHSU’s Knight Cancer Center, she’s now well on her path to recovery. One in eight women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, and early detection is key against the disease that claims the lives of more than 42,000 women each year. To survivors and fellow women facing this battle, you’re already a friend. Don’t hesitate to reach out and connect.
Nicola lives in Vancouver, Washington, with her husband and three daughters. When she isn’t writing, she enjoys tacos, traveling, gardening, exploring the great outdoors, and other creative projects. She loves to connect with readers, writers, and other artists and creatives. You can find her on the social media platforms linked at the top of this page, or feel free to send an email!
