WIP - The Veil of Seven Realms - The Last Heir

Arden grew up an orphan in the slums of Lowtown, unaware of her true heritage. But when a pendant from her forgotten past leads her to the Veilwood, she uncovers the devastating truth: she is the last living heir to a fallen dynasty, the last of the Vallis bloodline-an ancient royal family with the power to control leylines and bond with Mythkin.

Now, hunted by the corrupt Council of Ten, Arden's journey to reclaim her throne pits her against the very forces that overthrew her family. As she crosses paths with Kaeden, a deadly assassin sent to eliminate her, their fates become intertwined in ways neither expects. But when Arden learns that the council's darkest secrets may be the only thing protecting the kingdom from an even greater threat, she must decide who to trust-and whether her family's return is the salvation of Elarion... or its doom.
