Six Sordid Crowns

The world was not created whole.
It was broken - and everything born after learned to bleed for it.

Elowyn of Linnaëa has never feared the dark. Reckless, defiant, and burning with a power she barely understands, she knows desire is dangerous and love even more so. Alongside five others, she is summoned into a sacred tournament where the gods are honored through trial, blood, and sacrifice - and where victory costs more than defeat.

Six crowns await at the end. None are innocent.

As rival heirs and ancient courts converge, Elowyn is drawn into a web of lethal attraction, forbidden bonds, and truths buried beneath centuries of lies. Each trial strips something vital away - strength, memory, identity - and each connection threatens to fracture her further. The closer she comes to power, the more she risks losing herself... or surrendering to something far worse.

Because in a universe shaped by fracture, love is not salvation.
It is defiance.

And some crowns do not rule.

They consume.
