A Crown Forged of Starlight

Born in Light. Forged by Shadows.

Princess Emrys Vaelcrest was born for greatness- born on the summer solstice to a kingdom that expected light and healing from her touch. But as her powers manifest they bring only shadows - an ability that has only left death in its wake. Shunned by her people and grappling with her powers she can do nothing but watch as her kingdom falls to a tyrant king. Forced to endure months of torture she dares hope to one day escape. Not to reclaim her crown but to fight for her people.

Kai Lorcan has seen firsthand what power can do to man. Once a noble, now a thief he has no interest in the petty scrambling of kings and queens. But when commanded to find the lost princess or be sentenced to death the decision is simple. The job is improbable - but possible.

Find her. Return her. That's it.

But the girl with darkness in her veins is nothing like he expected. So perfect he almost believes it to be another one of his illusions. But even he couldn't create a treasure so precious. And somewhere between darkness and fallen kingdoms he wonders if some treasures are simply meant to be protected not stolen. No matter what the cost.

A princess forged of shadows, and a thief born of broken nobility the two work together in hopes of a better world. Where both of them may finally dream.
