The Hundredth Queen
Kalinda has lived her whole life in a temple, raised as a ward alongside other orphaned girls. When the rajah claims her as his hundredth queen, she discovers she has forbidden fire powers that could either save her or get her killed. The tournament between the rajah's wives is brutal and political, and the slow-burn romance with her guard, Captain Deven, grows in the spaces between survival. Indian mythology gives the world-building a texture that sets it apart from the usual medieval European fantasy.
