The Duchess of Kokora

The Duchess of Kokora, Phera Ylir Mdana, has entered the marriage games of the neighboring kingdom of Ryene. But she’s not there to woo the dashing Prince Dominic.

Her true objective? To win back one of the other contestants, Lady Rocelle Virae—Phera’s true love and ex-fiancee.

Love proves to be a game like any other when Phera must not only mend matters with her childhood sweetheart, but conceal her true intentions in order to earn votes and stay in the competition.

And as long-brewing political tensions simmer beneath the surface, the playful veneer of the competition begins to crack. In the end, Phera, Dominic, and Rocelle find themselves united in a desperate bid to prevent a duel that threatens the integrity of the kingdom, the stability of the continent, and any hope for a happily ever after.

Narrated by Adjoa Andoh, whom you might recognize as Lady Danbury from Netflix's Bridgerton as well as the narrator of Ann Leckey's Ancillary Justice and the recent run of Penguin's Austen and Bronte classics, this fresh Queer YA Romantasy novel comes to life in stunning audio.
