A Twist of the Blade

When Casia Greythorne discovers she's destined for a throne she never wanted, she's forced to grapple with a devastating loss, an emerging magic she can barely understand, and the dangerous truth that her greatest enemy might be the one person she's falling for. Determined to take control of something in her spiraling life, she embarks on an epic quest through cursed lands and ancient territories with her trusted friends, only to find herself caught between a crumbling empire, relentless hunters, and Elander Revenmar—a former captain whose loyalty to his god collides dangerously with his feelings for her. As the kingdom's foundations shake and debts demand payment in blood, Casia must figure out who she really is and what she's willing to sacrifice to claim her place in a world determined to break her. This is a sweeping fantasy romance that perfectly blends high-stakes adventure with the slow-burn tension of a connection neither Casia nor Elander can afford to feel.
