Booktokpoland Stories

The crown is a bruise. The palace is a mausoleum. And the truth? The truth tastes like iron. Astrea is seventeen, she is first in line to the throne of Azuria, and she is done playing the doll. In a world where every move is scripted by "risk assessments" and every smile is a lie, she decides to break the glass. One night. One inkwell of black, toxic ink drunk in front of a stunned court. One desperate escape in a vintage Jaguar. She thought leaving the palace was the hard part. She thought the black stain on her lips was her only scar. But as she stands on the edge of a cliff, looking at the kingdom that tried to erase her, the past catches up. A flash. A bang. Cold gravel against her cheek. In Azuria, they don't just crown you. They hunt you. And Astrea is about to find out that when you're born into a legacy of blood, the only way to write your own story is to bleed for it. They wanted a puppet. They got a wreck. Now, they'll face the monster.
