Wit & Travesty

The Vindicated Queen

“My future is uncertain, but it’s mine.”

After saving her family from danger, Queen Anjali returns to her brother’s palace in Ushallav. Eager to recover from divorce and betrayal, she determines to find a replacement husband and handmaiden, respectively.

But it’s not easy moving forward while making room for the happiness of her children, her family, and her kingdom—and to make such decisions so publicly. Additionally, Anjali learns she must reach out to foreign allies to blot out assassination plans that aim to squelch all her hard work for good.

THE VINDICATED QUEEN is the happily-ever-after conclusion to the Ushallav’s Queen duology. This novel addresses themes such as parenthood, blended families, divorce, dating (again), mental health, spirituality, and LGBTQIA+ experiences.

Early Reviews for The Vindicated Queen

Kailey Bright, Author of the UN Series

“A reflective, curious story about starting over and giving yourself the grace to do so. The Vindicated Queen expands on its lush world and delves into the internal and external conflicts not yet settled.”

Name Amy Vogel, Author of Teliosis

“Vindicated Queen spoke to my heart at first glance. From the title, to the cover, to the premise, I am ready to dive into this 2nd seminal work by my friend and fellow author, Whitney McGruder. I loved the blend of fantasy and realism Whitney brought in The Throwaway Queen. I expect nothing less from the rest of the series. 

Bringing not just a passion for storytelling but a heart to impact the lives of women the world over, Whitney ensures her readers will be empowered to own their own voice, no matter their struggles. What we need more of is bold women telling bold stories. I’m honored Whitney is someone I can count on to do that!”
