Blood of Crowns

Power comes at a price. Elara was born to pay it.

Elara has spent her life hiding her magic, burying her bloodline, and pretending to be nothing. When a deadly plague strikes her father, she is pulled into a realm where nothing stays hidden and every secret demands a sacrifice.

As rival thrones close in and Mystics vanish across the lands, Elara is hunted for a rare, ancient power she barely understands. Forced into a world shaped by forgotten gods, shifting alliances, and ruthless politics, she must decide who to trust-and who is using her.

But something older than the kingdoms is waking inside her, pulling her toward a fate she can't outrun. A reckoning is rising in her bones, and it will not be silenced.

Blood of Crowns is a New Adult fantasy filled with elemental magic, dark secrets, political intrigue, and a slow-burn attraction to a morally gray king whose loyalty is as dangerous as his smile. Perfect for readers who love powerful heroines, dangerous romances, and immersive worlds where every choice comes with a cost.

Book One of the Damned and Divine Duology.
