Queen of the Conquered – Kacen Callender

Unflinching, bold, and politically sharp — a dark Caribbean-inspired fantasy unlike anything else on your shelf.

Sigourney Rose is the only surviving daughter of a noble family slaughtered by colonizers. Gifted with the power to read minds, she plots revenge while navigating a brutal court of rulers. A searing exploration of colonialism, power, and resistance with a morally complex heroine at its centre.

Celebrated for its anti-colonial themes and the hook: "To rule, she must betray. To avenge, she must conquer." Perfect for fans of N.K. Jemisin's The Fifth Season, R.F. Kuang's The Poppy War, and Andrea Stewart's The Bone Shard Daughter.

A paperback (2019) in Very Good condition — minor shelf wear, pages clean and intact, binding tight.
