Riven : Crown of Shadows

In a world ruled by magic, ancient Seals, and crumbling bloodlines, one boy carries a secret the world tried to erase.



Once the heir to a fallen kingdom, Riven Caelthorn Valenhart was only eight when the crown was shattered and his memories stolen. Now seventeen, he survives on instinct, swordplay, and the voice of a mischievous spirit whispering in his mind. He doesn’t remember who he was—but someone out there remembers him. And they want him dead.



Haunted by a forgotten past and hunted by the monstrous cult known as the Eclipse Order, Riven’s only allies are a cursed pendant, a flicker of flame, and a growing power he barely understands. As he trains to master elemental magic and the ancient Frames of Flame, he uncovers truths buried beneath lies—and discovers that the same power that destroyed his family might be the key to saving the world.



But every Seal he unlocks brings him closer to the truth.



And the truth might burn everything.



Dark fantasy. Elemental battles. Hidden royalty. A slow-burn mystery tangled with fate, sacrifice, and shadows that remember.
