57 parts Complete Paedyn never asked for a crown, nor for the life growing quietly inside her after the war ended in ash and blood. An Ordinary girl in a kingdom that worships power, she once fought only to survive. Now, she must learn how to rule-while her body battles the price of love, legacy, and life.
After discovering she is with child, Paedyn and Kai navigate a delicate and dangerous balance between hope and heartbreak. Haunted by the death of his brother and the ghost of a throne built on cruelty, Kai clings fiercely to Paedyn and the daughter they never expected but now cannot imagine losing. They name her Adena-after the friend Paedyn lost to the Trials, a name carved from pain and memory.
But even with the corrupt council dismantled and Lord Calen dead, not all enemies have been exiled. The people remain restless. Their Queen has no powers. Her body is broken in recovery. And still, she rises.
As Kai stands guard over their fragile family, and Jax returns to witness the quiet strength of a mother defying every expectation, the palace becomes a crucible of secrets, sorrow, and slow healing. In the quiet spaces between pain and peace, love must become something more than survival-it must become a revolution.
Because the greatest battle isn't against an enemy at the gate-it's learning to believe that you deserve to stay.
