The once-peaceful land of Embria now suffers under the occupation of cruel conquerors. Enchantress Maura Woodbury has spent her young life trying to avoid their notice at all costs. Until her wizard guardian reveals that she has been chosen to seek and waken a legendary warrior who is destined to free their people. First she must procure an ancient map which will reveal The Waiting King's resting place. Since Maura's journey will lead her into dangerous territory, she is forced to accept a magic-wary outlaw as her escort. But can she trust a man like Rath Talward...or will he prove an even greater threat to her quest?"In her first crossover foray into fantasy, romance writer Hale (Beauty and the Baron) nicely blends the two genres in an upbeat, feel-good story." - Publisher's Weekly"Although Hale is renowned for her works of historical romance, she has succeeded in writing a very readable high fantasy with powerful romantic undercurrents. Fast-paced and emotionally riveting, The Wizard's Ward will appeal not only to Hale's throngs of romance followers but also to fans of Patricia A. McKillip's and Juliet Marillier's folklore-powered fantasy novels." - Paul Goat Allen, Barnes and Noble "The Wizard's Ward is an engaging tale, not to be missed, especially by anyone who's previously enjoyed Ms. Hale's superior writing." - The Old Book Barn Gazette "Fans of Deborah Hale are sure to enjoy The Wizard's Ward, and I have no doubt that lovers of fantasy romance will eagerly accept Ms. Hale into their fold!" - Courtney Bowden, Romance Reviews TodayQueen's Quest Trilogy: Book 1 - The WIzard's WardBook 2 - The Waiting KingBook 3 - The Destined QueenThese books contain no graphic violence or physical intimacy. They are suitable for teens as well as more mature readers.Within days of hearing that her publisher was planning to launch a new fantasy imprint, Deborah Hale called her editor and submitted a proposal. Fantasy novels by J.R. R. Tolkein, Ursula LeGuin and Lloyd Alexander had first inspired her to become a writer. Deborah was delighted to be offered a contract for two connected books and thrilled to be the first Harlequin author to write for the Luna imprint! Recently Deborah regained the publishing rights to those books and has revised the stories into a trilogy that she hopes will appeal to an even wider audience.
