Royal Jelly

When Queen Nasira must uphold the tradition of raising an heir, with the help of three Sages, she adopts ten baby girls. All of them born on a day deemed to be blessed by the Gods.

As the servants file into the castle, each one carrying a small noisy bundle, Queen Nasira looks on in disdain.

The Dwarf Queens. Her diplomatic daughters. Her replacements.

Many families are elated for their daughters to be chosen as Dwarf Queens, but the girls will soon learn what a vicious life a queen-to-be lives, and that in the end, there can only be one. But one is all Queen Nasira needs. A babe has already caught her eye, and if she made the right moves, she could be the key to saving them both.

The life of a Dwarf Queen is plagued with death. The Royal Jelly that's meant to make them stronger, smarter, and taller than the average human, is the same substance that can shut down your system without warning.

With the scrutinizing judgement of The People, a cold and unloving Queen Mother, and the looming fate of having to face off with each other for the crown hanging in the balance, can their bond of sisterhood save them despite their differences? Or will the voices of others breeding insecurities and fear bring them to bloodshed?

Can Royal Jelly be thicker than blood? or could the spoils of being "Queen Bee" be too enticing to ignore?
