Thank you for the glowing review of the fantasy book, “No Rest for the Innocent" by M. D. Sanders. It must be jarring to be taken from the alter on your wedding day to the executioner instead. Even more hair-raising is to awaken after a decade and then be told you must find and punish the people who were guilty instead of you. That the author could make every character come alive and shine for the reader is masterful. It seems also that this book may be complete and stand-alone, it could also be the start of a series. This book is recommended for mature readers. Enjoy!

The title of the book *No Rest for the Innocent* immediately caught my attention, and I was a bit taken aback—shouldn't the innocent be the ones who find rest? This irony really draws me to the book. The review further piqued my interest, especially with the story of Francesca. I'm eager to learn more about her life and the tragic events surrounding her death on her wedding day. I can't wait to dive into this story. Thank you for the insightful review it was an enjoyable read. Congratulations to the author on being selected BOTD.

So many people get wronged every single day. Some die for some other's sins. It is intriguing to wonder what would happen if an innocent does not rest. Congratulations on the BOTD, and best wishes for future projects.

The story described seems interesting and very intriguing! I am eager to find out what exactly happened to Francesca and hope it will be plausibly explained, because it sounds fantastical to be resurrected, but I prefer when even those unbelievable things have some logic and believable event behind them. Thanks for your recommendation and congrats on BOTD!

I'm not a fan of fantasy novels, but the beginning of this book intrigued me. I also love stories of redemption so, this was another attractive feature for me. I'd love to see this converted into a movie/TV series someday!
Love your review which was detailed and sparked the interest in me.

“No Rest for the Innocent” by M.D. Sanders is a fantasy story that takes place during the Victorian Era. Francesca, the main character, was framed for the murder of the queen from the Rozenstien Empire. The murder/assassination occurred one week before the wedding when the queen was protecting the toddler second prince. The peacekeepers rushed into the church where the wedding was just beginning and took her away to be judged at the courthouse while the grief-stricken king watched from the balcony. Francesca had no reason to kill the queen and the letters that have been found in her residence had to be planted. Her chaperone and companion had told the authorities that she had seen Francesca conspiring with others the night of the murder. She was found guilty of Treason, and she was beheaded and dismembered by her fiancé and his sword on the day after what should have been her wedding day. She wakes up in a room where she been put back together by a hooded necrotist who was grabbing her bare breasts as he attempted revivification of her body via a magical process. She tried to strike him and then realized her limbs were sewed back on. She woke up after being dead for ten years and sees a teenage prince #2 playing with corpse like dolls. She knows she was framed, and she is determined to bring justice to the people that framed her so she can finally rest in peace. One needs to read the book to learn what happens after her body is sewn back together and if she is able to avenge her execution.

What a shocking experience to be dragged from the marriage altar and executed on your wedding day! Francesca wakes up after a decade and can hopefully set things right. Thank you for your informative review.
