The Glass Crown

In a kingdom where magic is outlawed and glass artistry reigns supreme, Alina has always walked the delicate line between obscurity and ambition. A gifted glassblower with a shadowy secret, she dreams of elevating her craft to honor her late grandfather's legacy. But when her enchanted glass sculpture comes to life at the worst possible time, Alina's hidden magic is exposed-and her world shatters.

Branded a criminal and pursued by King Rowan, a ruler tormented by the fear of magic's destructive power, Alina is thrust into the heart of a brewing rebellion. With a prophecy naming her the "Glassborn Sovereign"-the key to restoring magic and unity to the kingdom-Alina must grapple with a destiny she never sought.

As she hones her powers, her growing bond with Finn, a daring yet secretive rebel, complicates her path. Torn between vengeance and hope, Alina must decide if she can trust the king she despises, embrace the magic she fears, and risk everything for a fractured kingdom that may not deserve saving.

For fans of Shadow and Bone and The Priory of the Orange Tree, The Glass Crown is a sweeping tale of magic, love, and the unyielding strength it takes to forge a brighter future.
