Smoke in the Valley (The Plain of Crowns)

Kevin Hincker

"Nothing is impossible." - the Little Queen A Novella Expands the Little Queen's World

A black Labrador abandoned on the side of a mountain road. A young mountain lion transformed by ancient power. And a Valley moving toward the brink of ecological collapse. This novella deepens the story of The Little Queen with old friends and new heroes,

A lost dog finds an unlikely home in the Selkirk Valley, a region dense with beehives. On patrol through the forests and meadows of River Bend, guarding his new home against dangers both natural and supernatural, he notices a tightening trauma somewhere deep in the valley's soil. And then it's his own family in trouble, and he has no idea what to do, until he meets a golden, talking Queen bee who starts teaching him tricks ...

A story of loyalty, loss, and redemption told through the eyes of those who guard the wild places where nature and magic still meet.
