The Crown of Blood & Fire

Prince Damien Brando has never cared for the throne, the court, or the deadly games of politics. As the youngest son of the powerful Brando family, he has spent his days in reckless abandon, drowning in luxury and scandal. But when his Father King Aldric of the land Valtoria is murdered, Damien finds himself the prime suspect. The court demands his execution, and the evidence against him is overwhelming-except for one thing. He couldn't have done it. He was too deep in the haze of a wild, drunken night to even lift a blade.

To escape the noose, Damien is given a choice: marry and prove himself a responsible royal or be condemned for a crime he didn't commit. But love has never been part of his story, and marriage is just another chain he refuses to wear.

Determined to clear his name, Damien plunges into the dark underbelly of the royal court, uncovering a conspiracy far more sinister than a single assassination. The truth threatens to shatter everything he thought he knew-about his family, the kingdom, and himself. And if justice won't be given to him, he'll take it by force.

Because Damien Brando is no longer the reckless prince they once knew. Now, he is a man at war.
