Brianna thought the hardest part of her new life would be learning to rule. Then her powers changed. A maid died in her labyrinth. And the deadliest thing in the room was not the killer, but the fury she could no longer keep buried.
As Solasta reels from betrayal, Brianna is pulled into a hidden history of lost kingdoms, sleeping spells, dragon bonds, and a royal line the world was never meant to forget. A mysterious stranger arrives from a forgotten realm. Powerful enemies close in. And the deeper she reaches into the past, the more she learns that her face, her gift, and her destiny may be part of a prophecy older than the crown itself.
To save her people she will have to trust the magic she fears most. To save her family she may have to become something the throne has never seen.
Because some crowns are worn. Others are survived.
