Crown of Ice and Ruin

Marked from birth as the vessel of Love's divine crystal, Queen Syrune Lunafrost of Luneria was raised to be more than mortal-destined to one day ascend and join the goddesses who watch over the lost continent. Her power is a gift meant to heal and bind, but in a land where kingdoms hunger for supremacy, it makes her a prize as much as a sovereign.

On the eve of her consecration, Syrune's world is shattered when Kaelfyr Nighthunter, one of the ruthless sons of the War God, claims her as his bride. Bound to him by an ancient right she cannot defy, Syrune is thrust into a realm of brutal politics, forbidden pleasure, and a magic older and darker than any temple dares whisper. Kaelfyr is a man forged of violence and desire, whose touch ignites both fury and need-and whose secrets could undo not only Serenya's crown, but her very soul.

As betrayal festers in her court and the other Queens of Luneria whisper of rebellion, Syrune discovers that her power is not merely to soothe hearts but to break them. Shadows stir in the deep places of the world, ancient enemies awakening with eyes fixed on the Aspects. To protect her people, Syrune must master her divine gift, navigate deadly alliances, and decide whether the God of War's son is her captor, her undoing, or the one weapon strong enough to save her.

But Love, once bound, can twist into something far more dangerous. And Syrune is beginning to learn that godhood is not granted-it is taken.
