Book cover

Royalty Restored by J. Fitzgerald Molloy is a captivating historical novel that takes readers on a journey through both time and royalty. Set in the 19th century, the story follows the life and struggles of its main character, who is born into a royal family but is forced to live a life of anonymity.
