Princess Tara Colville has always lived between expectations and truth. By day, she is the heir to Zorba’s Reach—watched, controlled, and groomed to rule. By night, she is Cabaya, a masked warrior who fights for the people her kingdom has forgotten. When a dangerous pirate known as Black Hood attempts to kidnap Tara using dark magic that twists emotions and trust, Tara’s carefully balanced double life begins to unravel. As threats rise in both the royal court and the streets of Lower City, Tara must decide who she is willing to become—and what kind of future she wants to fight for. Caught between a growing courtship, unresolved feelings for her closest protector, and her loyalty to the Mysterious Warriors, Tara faces impossible choices. Keeping her secret means lying to those she cares about. Revealing it could cost her everything. In a divided city where power favors the privileged and justice hides in the shadows, one young woman must learn that being strong doesn’t mean standing alone—and that becoming queen may require more than a crown. Mysterious Warriors: Alone is a Young Adult epic fantasy about identity, courage, friendship, and finding your voice in a world determined to silence it.
