THE THORNED CROWN

Seren Vale, a girl raised in the shadows of a ruined village, accidentally unleashes forbidden dragonfire when her best friend is murdered by royal soldiers. Marked by fire and hunted as a witch, she flees — only to be found by Kael Draven, the prince of Velmora and a secret Nightborn vampire.



Kael is bound by duty to marry a noble and inherit his father’s bloody throne. But when he meets Seren, he realizes she is the last living Drákari princess, born of a forgotten rebellion. She is everything his family swore to destroy — yet everything his heart refuses to kill.



Forced into alliance, Seren and Kael begin a desperate journey across war-torn lands. Along the way, they uncover ancient truths: a hidden rebellion of dragons, vampire cults who worship forbidden gods, and a growing war that could tear the world apart.



Their love is forbidden by blood, history, and prophecy — for if Seren gives her heart to Kael, she may lose control of the dragonfire inside her. And if Kael surrenders to his thirst for her, he may become the monster he swore to fight.



Worse still, the ancient God of Silence stirs beneath the mountains — a being imprisoned by Seren’s ancestors and worshipped by Kael’s.
