Stories
Each story in The Emerging Queendom showcases unique female archetypes and their strengths. But the tales of an ancient curse, a heroine’s journey, and the crumbling towers are just a canvas to embroider messages of love, resilience, finding your own path, and having the right circle of friends to support you along the way.
Cross stitch designs
Maria’s stunning cross stitch designs add a visual depth to the narrative, making the reading experience even more immersive and enchanting.
The Emerging Queendom is scheduled to be released in early December 2024.
