Nameless Queen by Rebecca McLaughlin is a fantasy novel that follows the story of Coin, a girl living in the slums of Seriden known as the Low. In this kingdom, status is determined by one's name, with the Royals at the top, the Legals next, and the Nameless, like Coin, at the bottom with no rights or recognition. When the king dies, a magical tattoo that signifies the next ruler appears on Coin's arm, marking her as the new queen despite her Nameless status. Thrust into a world of politics, power, and danger, Coin must navigate her unexpected rise to power while dealing with threats from those who believe she doesn't belong. With the help of her friend Hat, she learns about the kingdom's deep inequalities and the magic that rules it. Coin's journey is one of self-discovery, as she fights to protect the Nameless and challenge the status quo, redefining what it means to be a leader and a queen.
