Princess Aralyn brings ruin wherever she treads—fields wither, storms rise, and lives are lost. Exiled for a curse she cannot control, she is forced to leave behind her kingdom and her crown. But Aralyn refuses to be a victim of fate. The shards of an ancient relic, the Broken Crown, hold the key to breaking her curse, and she will risk everything to reclaim them.

Kael, a brooding mercenary with a haunted past, wants nothing to do with royalty. But when fate entwines his path with Aralyn’s, he reluctantly becomes her protector. As danger and betrayal follow them at every turn, their fragile alliance begins to shift into something neither of them expected. But in a world where trust is dangerous and love comes at a cost, their growing bond may be as dangerous as the curse itself.

With the Shadow Regent scheming to seize the throne and an ancient prophecy foretelling destruction, Aralyn must make an impossible choice: sacrifice her heart to save her kingdom, or risk everything to hold on to love.
