Arielle Queen - Book I

ARIELLE QUEEN – BOOK I

Michel Levesque, translated by Greg Kelm • YA Fantasy / Epic Fantasy / Fiction in Translation / Norse Mythology

Book Description

The Dark Elves have invaded Midgard. From the shadows of the Nine Realms, ancient forces stir — and an unlikely teenager may be the Valinn, the Chosen One destined to save them all. ARIELLE QUEEN – BOOK I launches Michel Levesque's epic fantasy series with the force of a Norse saga and the heart of a coming-of-age adventure.

Translated from the original French by Greg Kelm, this first volume plunges readers into a world drawn from the deep well of Norse mythology: gods and monsters, dark elves and ancient prophecies, realms suspended on the World Tree and heroes forged in fire. Arielle, our heroine, must navigate a cosmos where nothing is as it seems — where allies wear masks and enemies speak truths, and where the fate of every realm hangs on choices made in the spaces between worlds.

Part myth, part quest, and wholly immersive, ARIELLE QUEEN is YA fantasy of ambition and scope — a series opener that will appeal to readers of Rick Riordan's mythological adventures, Tolkien's epic world-building, and anyone who has ever wondered what hides in the branches of Yggdrasil.
