Publisher's Summary

Second in Maine Allagash Gargouilles series, featuring French-Canadian gargoyles from an ancient human-like race.

Protect the Queen follows the 2019 NY Book Festival Grand Prize Winner, The Bookseller's Daughter. Protect the Queen won the 2023 Hollywood Book Festival Best Sequel, 2023 New York Book Festival runner-up Best Novel, 2023 Paris Book Festival honorable mention Best Novel.

A wounded Luna and two female friends have risked their lives bucking their ancient race's patriarchal system that kills female heirs to the throne at birth. Now, after hatching three babies in Wells--two females and a male--they are hiding in the Allagash Wilderness west of Mt. Katahdin. They must battle harsh weather, infections, starvation, wild animals, trigger-happy humans, Luna's arch-enemy and pretender-to-the-throne Faucon, as well as the king's assassins. But with the help of six humans including the bookseller Maryann, her daughter Keegan, and their friends, there's hope.
