Crowned by Swords
Zavian Callister once had a home filled with warmth—his mother’s cooking, his brother’s laughter, and a future he believed in. But that life shattered long ago. Now, he lives in a house that reeks of alcohol, trapped with a father lost to his own demons. To protect himself, he blends in with the wrong crowd, pretending to be someone he’s not.
Then, there’s Sia Raventhorn. The girl who unknowingly held his heart before he even understood love. The girl who, without realizing it, became his reason to fight.
But love isn’t simple. Not for a boy like him.
Determined to change his fate, Zavian chooses a path that will make or break him—a path that demands blood, sweat, and sacrifice. What he doesn’t realize is that destiny is already weaving a story far beyond his control.
Because Sia has a past of her own. A past that connects to his in ways neither of them ever saw coming.
And when the truth is finally revealed, Zavian will have to face the one thing he has feared the most.
Not war.
Not loss.
But her hatred.
Because sometimes, the greatest battles aren’t fought on the battlefield—but in the heart.
