Adrian was supposed to be their miracle child-the one they chose when they couldn't have their own. For two years, he believed he was loved. Then his mother became pregnant. Then came the bottles. Then came the fists.
Now Adrian is nothing more than a shield. A boy with scars across his body and rage burning in his chest, standing between his violent parents and the three little sisters who depend on him for everything.
He'll take every blow, every insult, every wound. He'll fight, endure, and bleed if it means they can smile. But as his sisters grow, and as his temper grows darker, Adrian must face the truth:
The world may fear the man he's becoming.
But without him, his sisters may not survive at all.

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. His sword cut down her guards, his orders shattered her gates, and his betrayal pierced her heart deeper than any blade. That night, Isabella's world ended. Her parents fell before her eyes. Her kingdom was lost. Her heart, once soft and unguarded, was broken beyond repair. But she survived. From the ashes of grief, she made a different kind of vow: never again would she be trapped in a life she could not control. She would flee, escaping the ruins of her past to find safety and a chance to live. Not as a warrior seeking vengeance, but as a soul seeking survival, a life reclaimed from the shadows of loss. And though she did not know it then, destiny would one day bring her face to face with the man who had destroyed her life. The man who would become both her greatest enemy... and the one love she could never escape.Complete
