The once-vibrant Cecaelia Kingdom is a place of shadowed glory, its magnificent coral damaged, its future uncertain. The legitimate Royal Family of Light fought a grueling, desperate battle and won, pushing back the crushing darkness. But their victory was costly: the kingdom lies in ruins, and the royals' strength is depleted.
Now, their defeated foe, Seraphyne the Unbound-a rogue Deepwater Siren who once seized the forbidden Crown of the Deep-has been cast into the shadows. The royals know she's not gone; she is merely gathering strength for her second, deadlier assault.
Into this precarious state swims Zari'el, a powerful young Cecaelia with long, flowing curls and a fierce, unyielding spirit. Zari'el is just a regular member of the scattered faithful-or so she thinks. Yet, as she draws near the damaged palace, the empty throne itself calls out, choosing her as the one destined to wield the legendary Trident of Light and lead the restoration.
Zari'el's mission is clear: she must race against time to assemble a team of specialized allies, master her volatile powers, and heal the wounded reef before Seraphyne rises again. She fights to save the surviving royals and prepare the kingdom for the inevitable final war.
But as Zari'el begins her work, she discovers the truth about her own origins. She doesn't just wield light-she possesses the power of old blood, a lineage more royal and ancient than the family she fights to protect. The key to the kingdom's true restoration lies in her own undiscovered past and her destiny to finally sit upon that powerful throne.
Can this chosen Cecaelia rebuild her people's world, unlock her royal heritage, and defeat the beautiful, terrifying tyrant when the Crown of the Deep inevitably returns?
Dive into Crown of the Deep, where a destined hero fights to repair a broken kingdom, prepare for war, and embrace the ultimate battle between faith and shadow.
