Siren's Hollow Throne

The throne was never meant for peace. It was meant to hold back the end of the world.

The war is over, the tyrant queen is dead, and the realm of Aetheris has finally been united under Lyra's rule. But in the deep-sea dark, the celebration of the surface is merely a siren song for something far more ancient-and far more hungry.

When the ocean begins to boil with corrupted magic and the boundary between the living and the abyss fractures, Lyra realizes that her crown is more than a symbol of leadership; it is a seal. As the primordial First King begins his ascent from the crushing trenches, he doesn't want to destroy Lyra-he wants to consume her. Through a terrifying, seductive "Siren's Call" that echoes within her own mermaid bloodline, he offers her the power of an Abyssal Queen, tempting her to abandon the surface for a throne of shadows.

But he isn't acting alone. The shattered shell of Prince Valen has returned as the King's Shadow, a hollowed-out henchman fueled by spite and forbidden dark energy. Armed with intimate knowledge of Lyra's vulnerabilities, Valen is the key to breaking the world's final defenses.

As the kingdom teeters on the edge of catastrophe, Lyra finds herself losing grip on her own mind. With Kaelen-a man of steel and humanity-fighting to remain her anchor against a god-like threat, Lyra must face a devastating reality: the only way to cage the First King may require a sacrifice that will cost her everything she has fought to become.

The tide is turning, the shadows are rising, and the true price of the crown is finally coming due.
