Brynna is the runaway princess of Forcadel and the central character of S. Usher Evans’ Princess Vigilante series. At thirteen, she escaped an arranged marriage and vanished into the city’s underworld, where she trained herself to fight and adopted the masked identity of The Veil. For years she patrolled the streets at night, stopping criminals and protecting people the city guard overlooked.
Her double life collapses when her father the king and her older brother are murdered. As the only surviving heir, Brynna is dragged back to the castle and forced to take the throne. She has no training in politics, no allies at court, and a kingdom full of people who either doubt her or want her dead. Still, she refuses to give up her nights as The Veil, sneaking out of the castle to keep watch over the city even as she tries to figure out who killed her family.
The four-book series, published between 2019 and 2020, won the 2019 Florida Author Project YA Book of the Year. It follows Brynna as she struggles to balance her responsibilities as queen with her instinct to handle problems with her fists rather than diplomacy.
