The Shattered Throne
For twenty years, the kingdom of Eldoria has bled.
The usurper, King Malrik, rules from a throne made of broken swords — the swords of the noble families he destroyed one by one. The rightful heir was murdered as an infant. Or so the world believes.
Rhaena knows the truth. She is the heir. She has been hiding in plain sight for two decades, a nameless servant in the castle that was once her home.
But the Withering is waking beneath the earth. An ancient god of decay and hunger stirs in the darkness. And Malrik’s reign is crumbling from within.
An old friend finds her. A knight with broken vows and desperate eyes.
“Your people need you,” he says. “The kingdom needs you. The world needs you.”
Rhaena has spent her life running. Now she must decide — take back the throne she never wanted, or watch everything burn.
