Crowns of Embers and Thorns

Aletta and Fintan Thorne grew up knowing the world beyond the mountains existed.

They had studied its maps, heard its histories, and learned the names of kingdoms and courts. But knowledge from books is not the same as living in the world itself-and the twins were never meant to leave the quiet sanctuary where they were raised.

Until the world came for them.

When violence reaches their hidden home, Aletta and Fintan are forced into a continent they know only in theory-one filled with powerful factions, ancient magic, and a fragile balance between the fae and human realms. As whispers of prophecy and war begin to surface, the twins quickly learn that their lives were never as simple as they believed.

Because the magic awakening within them is not ordinary.

Drawn to the fae capital of Draiocht-a city of towering spires, hidden power, and carefully arranged loyalties-they must learn to control abilities that even the greatest scholars struggle to understand. But every answer they uncover reveals deeper secrets about their family, their past, and the role they may play in conflicts far larger than themselves.

In a world where alliances shift like embers in the wind and thorns guard every crown, Aletta and Fintan must decide who they trust-and who they are willing to become.

Because the fate of kingdoms may rest on the fire they carry.
