Throne of Blade and Blood

Too young to rule, too young to die.

Lydia's world is shattered when her father, the King, and brother are murdered, leaving her as the last surviving heir to the throne of Velora.
Forced to flee all that she has known to escape the same fate, Lydia hides under a new identity, learning to live in secrecy and discretion and desperately trying to bury the pain of her tragic past.
But as the years go by, whispers of unrest and rebellion in the regions arise, and the return of a loyal friend echos within her the title she has long since silenced.
Now eligible to claim the throne, Lydia must decide her fate, all while returning to a kingdom that has forgotten her, where enemies grow stronger, and even her most trusted allies hide dangerous secrets.
