Crown Of Dusk

Book 1

***

Fifteen-year-old Romy has spent her entire life hidden in the mountains, trained by her fierce aunt, Veyra, to hunt, fight, and survive. Far from the capital, far from the throne, and far from the truth, Romy believes the wilderness is the only world she'll ever need.

Until the night she comes home to blood on the floor and her aunt lying dead.

With nothing left but rage and unanswered questions, Romy is forced to descend from the mountains into a kingdom she barely knows. Veyholm is a nation of soldiers, secrets, and power, where magic is studied like a weapon and royal blood is worth killing for. And the moment Romy steps into its capital, she becomes a target.

When Romy meets Lucie, a girl sold to the castle as a concubine, the two form an unlikely bond in a world that wants to tear them apart. But the deeper Romy is pulled into palace life, the clearer it becomes that her aunt didn't die by chance, and her mother's death wasn't the honorable sacrifice the kingdom claims it was.

Because someone in the castle is lying.

Someone is hiding the truth behind a crown.

And Romy's eyes hold a power the world was never meant to see again.

As war whispers across borders and enemies close in from every direction, Romy must decide what she's willing to become to survive. In a kingdom built on blood and betrayal, the greatest danger may not be the monsters beyond the walls...

But the royals within them.
