Ashes Between Crowns

In the ashes of war, Princess Lenneor of Valedor is forced into the cruelest fate imaginable-marriage to the man who destroyed her kingdom.

King Theron Varros of Ardyn is feared across the continent, a ruthless conqueror crowned in blood and steel. He is the man who killed her brother. The man whose armies burned through kingdoms without mercy. To his court, their union is nothing more than a political victory: a conquered princess handed over as a peace offering to the enemy king.

But the moment Theron sees his new bride, everything changes.

Because years before the war ended, long before crowns and betrayals stood between them, Lenneor once saved the life of a dying soldier beside a frozen river-never realising he was the future King of Ardyn.

Now trapped together within the cold walls of a hostile palace, old memories begin to resurface beneath layers of grief, hatred, and longing neither of them can escape. As dangerous enemies gather within the royal court and the scars of war threaten to tear them apart, Lenneor must decide whether Theron is truly the monster the world believes him to be... or the only person who has ever truly understood her.
