Blood of Queens
Due in May 2027 from Saga Press, Macey Levington’s debut historical fantasy BLOOD OF QUEENS is a queer political heist full of necromancy, twisted regency mores, and more murderous royals than you can shake a skeleton at.
In an alternate Britain ruled by necromancers descended from Henry VIII’s six wives, any noble worth their name can raise a corpse to serve them. But to truly resurrect the dead? That power belongs to the Queens and the Chalice of Resurrection they zealously guard—an artifact Europe’s rich and powerful would do anything to possess.
Danica von Holstein—courtesan, illusionist, and extravagant grifter—has a plan: infiltrate the Shrouded Isle, steal the Chalice, and exchange it for the chance to recover her murdered family. To pull off the impossible heist, she enlists Zivriel Cane—surgeon, thief, and her occasional lover—whose fascination with death makes her uniquely suited to unlocking the Chalice’s secrets.
But within the Isle’s shadowed courts, the Queens play brutal political games, and Danica and Zivriel’s carefully planned heist soon lies in tatters. The Chalice could give them everything they’ve dreamed of, but will claiming it cost them their souls?
