In the midst of heartache, betrayal, and danger, Aria's journey will lead her beyond the walls she's built around her heart. But will love be enough to heal her wounds, or will the past destroy everything she's found?

THE BROKEN CROWN
The night the kingdom of Elaria burned, the stars hid behind smoke and sorrow. Princess Isabella watched flames devour the world she had always known-her home, her people, her family. The roar of battle drowned the lullabies of her childhood, and the clash of steel stole away the innocence she had once carried like a fragile crown. And at the heart of the chaos stood Adrian. Not the mysterious stranger who had once stolen her heart in the town streets, but the ruthless general of Draven, leading the assault with unyielding fire in his eyes.
