K.J. Dawson

I love chocolate (*quality* chocolate, because … life is short!), research (I know, I know, who loves research … *raises hand*), English movies (especially with my mom or my sisters), and reading science fiction and fantasy novels (like Raye Wagner, Jeff Wheeler, Melissa Caruso, J.K. Rowling, Suzanne Collins, and … a thousand other great stories with fun characters and lots of tension!).

I was born in L.A., grew up in Utah, spent a short stint in Bristol, England, then ended up in the Pacific NorthWest. I’ve been here ever since! But, honestly, I feel like a Utah girl that ended up living in a forest. And I love it!

Note: When Oregonians say, “I live in the country,” they’re not talking about living near cornfields or cows. They’re talking about the woods. The woods! (I know, it’s not like the farmer stories I grew up with, either.)

The Rose Court (The Unchosen Book 2)

The old order crumbles. New battle lines are drawn. With enemies at the gate, the last thing Dacia needs is a contender for the crown.

Nicoleta Aurelian’s official coronation is fast approaching, but she’s having doubts about being recognized as Empress of Dacia.

As a scholar’s daughter, she has little understanding of the machinations of the Rose Court, let alone the political skills needed to run a kingdom. With the nobility abandoning her, a possible traitor in her inner circle, and the surrounding kingdoms alert to any weaknesses, Nikka must consider her every move.
