Crowned in Shadows

Kael Veyne was never meant to be a survivor.

She was born into a noble house of warriors, raised among the powerful, destined for a future she never had the chance to claim. When her family was massacred, she was left for dead-a nameless ghost in a world that erased her.

But Kael survived.

Buried in the underground city of Ravaryn, she became a fighter, a hunter, a blade in the dark. She wanted nothing more than to forget the past-until a cocky, insufferable outsider shattered her world.

Riven Dain is hiding something. Beneath his charm and arrogance lies a man with too many secrets, a man with ties to the same noble house that destroyed Kael's life. He claims to be nothing more than a traveler, but when warlords start hunting him, Kael knows better.

Now, unwillingly bound together by fate and betrayal, Kael and Riven must leave the shadows behind.

The world above is waiting.
The past refuses to stay buried.
And Kael Veyne is done being forgotten.

Because the blood in her veins was never meant to be wasted in exile.

It was meant to rule.
