Princess **Alyssandra Veyth’ra** is a weapon—and a prisoner. Born with the **Chronos Crown’s mark**, her time magic can destroy armies or unravel reality. But every use ages her, erases her memories, and strengthens the **Maw**, a cosmic entity feeding on the Dominion’s timelines.
**Kaelen Moorwind**, a rogue beastmaster raised by the fugitive wizard Seraphine, is her reluctant ally. Bound by a **blood oath**, his Nullborn blood resists time decay, making him the Crown’s counterweight—and the Maw’s intended mate.
When Alyssandra’s uncontrolled powers massacre a village, she flees her uncle **Lord Malric**, the Crown’s puppet. Kaelen rescues her, but their bond ignites a forbidden romance that defies prophecy. As they battle Sandreaver hybrids, Time Wraiths, and the Crown’s sentient will, they uncover dark truths:
- The Crown is a prison for the Maw, a dragon-beast who is Alyssandra’s *father*.
- Kaelen is a Veyth’ra heir, his bloodline engineered to balance the Crown’s corruption.
- Seraphine, thought dead, is the Maw’s first bride—and Kaelen’s *true mother*.
Now, with the Crown’s sentience transferred to Kaelen and Alyssandra’s dragon form destabilizing, they must choose:
- Let the Maw escape and reset existence.
- Destroy the Crown, erasing their bloodline—and each other.
