Covenant of Crowns

A wedding meant to unite two kingdoms became the match that lit the realm on fire. Princess Seraphine Ashvale was meant to be the bride , until her sister Morgana pushed through the bridal chamber door, voice cold as silk, with a secret that could undo the covenant their father King Damien had spent a lifetime forging. When the cathedral doors open and the ceremony begins, the wrong vow is spoken, and the Ash Wyrm stirs beneath the mountains it was bound to forget. Now the Ashvale throne sits above a fault line. Morgana has vanished into the company of Vyran, a man the kingdom has every reason to fear. Kael Vorne , once a stranger, now the only one who knows what Morgana has unleashed , is dragged before the crown as either hostage or witness. Prince Aldric must choose between his sister's loyalty and his father's justice. Elder Maeven whispers of an older oath that must be honored, while the Wyrm Hunters ride out under Lysander Thorne's command, hunting a beast that may already be hunting them. The Seven Lords gather, each holding a piece of the broken covenant. Lord Harren wants the throne. The Warden wants order. Queen Elara watches from the shadows, and the serving girl Mira sees what royalty refuses to. And deep beneath the capital, something vast and patient waits for the Ashvale name to be spoken one final time. To save the kingdom, Seraphine must decide whether the crown is worth the cost of becoming what her sister already is.
