Dethroning My Royal Husband

Queen Maeve von Albion of Novia, from the ducal House of Albion, once led cavalry to crush rebels and drained her family’s wealth to put her husband Stefan on the throne. But weak, pleasure-seeking Stefan hid his mistress Violet in a secret gilded palace. Violet, coveting Maeve’s crown, humiliated Maeve and the Queen Mother, hurt the pregnant queen and destroyed her precious keepsake. Fully aware yet spoiling Violet, Stefan even ordered Maeve executed. Her childhood ally Duke Philip rescued her. Disillusioned, the Queen Mother backed Maeve. Maeve pulled her family’s support from Stefan, staged a coup with allies and deposed him. After Stefan killed Violet and pleaded for mercy, Maeve rejected him and killed him herself. Finally, she seized the crown, mastering her own fate.
