About the Books
The Ruin of the Last King
THE BEGINNING OF THE END.
My heart is not ready to say goodbye to this world, but I cannot wait for you to experience everything that is coming.
The throne is waiting. The kingdom is falling. And nothing will ever be the same.
Rise of the Last Queen
Sole Porte has given the Darkness her love, her body, her magick, and months of silence. What she hasn't given it is her name.
Rivian is coming for her with forty-seven ships and a weapon that beats like a second heart. But some rescues don't end when the cage breaks.
Before this is over, a kingdom will fall, a child will be born into fire, and the prophecy will be fulfilled. Sole will take back what the darkness took from her.
About the Author
Ligia N. Cushman, MA is a Dominican-American fantasy author and the force behind The Mōsa Chronicles, a BookTok sensation that has readers worldwide losing sleep, missing stops, and tagging their whole timeline. Her series built its following the way all real things do: through worlds that feel lived-in, characters who refuse to be forgotten, and stories centered on women of color navigating power, magic, betrayal, and the kind of love that costs something.
The third installment, Rise of a Cursed Kingdom, claimed an Amazon bestseller rank for seven days and proved this series is only getting bigger.
A former therapist, Ligia brings the same precision to her characters’ inner lives that she once brought to the therapy room. Her people are complicated, wounded, and real in the way that only someone who has sat with human pain truly understands. That psychological depth is not an accident. That is the whole point.
With Fhear’s Fury, she expands her universe into the stars, bringing the same corazón, the same fury, and the same uncontainable energy that made The Mōsa Chronicles a phenomenon. Her stories are full of rage, love, and reclamation.
A Washington Heights native, she now lives in Tampa with her illustrator husband, their son, and their two dogs, Jake and Ollie.
Come meet Ligia N. Cushman, discover her dark and magical worlds, and get your books signed!
