The Obsidian Queen series by Shari L. Tapscott is a six-book fantasy published entirely in 2023. All six books dropped in quick succession, taking readers from Guild of Secrets through to Queen of Aparia in a single year. The series has been described as mixing a lighthearted, almost Legally Blonde style with urban fantasy elements, featuring romance, magic, and plenty of humor.
The series was originally published under Tapscott’s pen name Shannon Lynn Cook, but she brought it under her own name in 2023 when she decided maintaining two fantasy pen names was creating confusion for readers. The updated editions found a wider audience under the Tapscott name. Fans of her more whimsical fantasy work will recognize her voice here, though the setting leans more toward a modern magical world than the medieval-inspired kingdoms of her other series.
