Crown Of Ruin

Astrea Riorson has spent her life surviving the choices other people made for her.

Marked as the daughter of a traitor and separated from the brother who once raised her, she enters Basgiath only days after losing Liam, her best friend, her found-brother, and one of the last people who ever made her feel safe. With grief hollowing her out and his sister, Sloane, depending on her to stay standing, Astrea is determined to protect what remains of her family, even if the Riders Quadrant takes everything else.

Then she meets Aaric Graycastle.

He is guarded, infuriating, and hiding a truth that could make whatever grows between them impossible. Their families are bound by bloodshed, their loyalties lie on opposite sides of a fractured kingdom, and neither of them can afford to trust the other.

But beyond Navarre's wards, dark wielders are rising, and the kingdom's greatest secrets are beginning to unravel.

As Astrea discovers a power capable of altering the balance between riders, dragons, and the magic beneath the earth, she is forced to confront the question that has followed her all her life:

How much of herself is she willing to sacrifice to keep the people she loves alive?

A story of forbidden love, devastating grief, fractured families, venin, impossible choices, and the dangerous line between salvation and ruin.
