BLOOMED: Queen of Sheba's Story
She was never the prize. She was the question.
They told her story like a footnote in a king’s biography, a queen who brought riddles, then vanished. But Bloomed is not a tale of conquest. It is a tale of a woman who refused to be named by anyone but herself.
In this searing and poetic reimagining of the Queen of Sheba’s legendary visit to King Solomon, bestselling author Kaline Remillard peels back centuries of myth to reveal the woman beneath the crown. Makeda, sovereign of flame and silence, power and ache. She carries no treaty. No plea. Only the kind of curiosity that unnerves empires.
What begins as a test of wisdom between two rulers becomes a collision of minds, bodies, and burdens. Their riddles spark into flirtation. Their silences thrum with unspoken truths. But power has its cost, and not every woman who comes crowned will return whole.
Bloomed is the seventh novel in the Women That Love series, a collection of fiercely imagined, historically rooted stories that give voice to the women the Bible watched but never protected. Through cinematic prose and unforgettable intimacy, Remillard invites readers into a world where scripture meets sovereignty, and love is both the risk and the reward.
For those who have ever loved without surrendering. For the women who never needed to be rescued, only recognized.
