Some interesting characters, but the world-building is unbalanced without much thought into whether it would be cohesive. Sometime in the past humans fought a war with Giants, but rather than just being physically bigger they were also substantially more powerful on a gods/dragons level. Humans (and allies) managed to win by weight of numbers and the aid of a few who didn't want to see them wiped out. Now it appears that the Giants are starting to reappear. Lorelle is part of a team of friends trying to run a kingdom after the mysterious disappearance of the prior ruler they'd just aided onto the throne (prior book I think). We don't get to see the actual kingdom running details, but instead the focus is on her attempts to find the new Queen - she'd been portalled away by a stranger who'd impersonated one of her friends' brothers. They have the portal but need to find the key. Along the way Lorelle meets a Nox (drow/dark elf) who tries to explain to her much of own history she'd been ignorant of, and some of her powers that she'd been suppressing. Unsurprisingly there are consequences.
