The rejected crown (book 2)

The battle may have ended. but peace is a distant dream. The kingdom lies fractured, and the shadows of betrayal linger like a curse.

Giovanna, no longer the idealistic woman of the past, steps into the chaos with a heart steeled by exile and loss. Her path is her own now, and nothing-neither kings nor ghosts of rebellion-will stand in her way.

Edweyn stands at a crossroads, his loyalty to King Richard fraying under the weight of war and betrayal. Torn between his duty to the crown and his unresolved feelings for Giovanna, he must decide if his future lies in service-or defiance.

Meanwhile, Jane, a shadow of fury, lingers in the dark, her power simmering, poised to ignite chaos once again.

And in the year 2029, Ezra stumbles through a future he does not recognize. With a cryptic book as his only guide, he embarks on a journey that will intertwine his fate with a broken kingdom, where every decision could change the course of history.

Old wounds reopen, new enemies rise, and the rebellion's legacy threatens to ignite a storm that will either tear the kingdom apart-or forge its salvation. The battle is over, but the war for the soul of the realm has only just begun.
