A kingdom in ruin. A crown forged by fire.
When Liora inherits a fractured realm, she is crowned not in glory, but in ashes. War, betrayal, and a hidden enemy threaten to consume everything she rules. Bound to her side is Kael, a hardened warrior with a dangerous past and unshakable loyalty.
As shadows rise and battles ignite, Liora must learn that true power is not worn—it is endured. Between fire and silence, trust and restraint, a bond forms that may save the kingdom or burn with it.
Because beneath every crown, there are ashes—and only the strong can rise from them.
