“A reflective, curious story about starting over and giving yourself the grace to do so.” —Kailey Bright, author of the UN Series.
"Bringing not just a passion for storytelling but a heart to impact the lives of women the world over, McGruder ensures her readers will be empowered to own their own voice, no matter their struggles. What we need more of is bold women telling bold stories." —Amy Vogel, author of Teliosis

After saving her family from danger, Queen Anjali returns to her brother’s palace in Ushallav. Eager to recover from divorce and betrayal, she determines to find a replacement husband and handmaiden, respectively.

But it’s not easy moving forward while making room for the happiness of her children, her family, and her kingdom—and to make such decisions so publicly. Additionally, Anjali learns she must reach out to foreign allies to blot out assassination plans that aim to squelch all her hard work.

THE VINDICATED QUEEN is the happily-ever-after conclusion to the Ushallav’s Queen duology. This novel addresses themes such as parenthood, blended families, divorce, dating (again), mental health, spirituality, and LGBTQIA+ experiences.
