In a country with a cursed justice system, two women; the mysterious Queen Artride and her loyal bodyguard Tirsa, set out on a secretive perilous quest. They hope to find the sorceress, who might just be the only person powerful enough to be able to lift the terrible curse from their land and its people, but she lives somewhere deep within Dochas; the strange Magical Land. Time is against Artride and Tirsa as they only have three weeks to save Tirsa's teenage brother's life, sentenced to hanging for a petty crime. The women are soon drawn to each other, but can their love ever be? Struggles and questions arise as things get increasingly more difficult: Can they trust one another and the magical creatures they meet who seem to have their own problems? And more so; will the evil sorceress actually be willing to help them and if so... for what price? Enter the world that is The Queen's Curse and cling to Artride and Tirsa to experience a mind-blowing, heart gripping psychological drama where nothing is certain. "A lyrical captivating fantasy with some beautiful imagery."--Rob Ross, author of Juggler's Blade  "A very traditional, spiritual romantic fantasy with strong lesbian/non violence themes"--Matthew Graybosch, author of Without Bloodshed Best for readers above age 15
