Women of Blood & Gold

What could a lonely queen and a stubborn librarian have in common when existing thousands of years apart? Queen Grisanndole rules the land of Eswein with her dragon, Sage, at her side. She depends on duchesses to rule the outer reaches of her kingdom, and her soldiers ride armored dragons into battle. She's fiercely strong and independent, and having fought against Vikings, she has no need for a man. Gwendolyn lives in a cramped apartment in Central London with her mother, Helen, and sister, Andromeda. Her father died when she was eight years old, and she's had to fight tooth and nail for everything she has. She works as a librarian during the day and as a waitress in the evening in an attempt to make ends meet. In an accident that renders both of them unconscious at the same time, the universe draws these women together inexplicably to work together in fighting an evil older than time itself. When Gwen finds herself traveling back in time and inhabiting Queen Grisanndole's body, she struggles to find balance. Their spirits fused together by a magic that Gwen doesn't have time to question, she struggles to maintain a firm grip on who she is. The only thing she knows for certain is she wants to help Grisanndole as much as she can. When they meet a mysterious stranger at the celebration of the winter solstice, the queen and Gwen's lives are changed. Situations force them to combine their wit and candor to fight an evil that threatens to take over Eswein. The universe weaves a spellbinding tale across time as these two women who live thousands of years apart find themselves having to work in unison to save everything they love most.
