She was married off like a tool.
Humiliated like a traitor’s daughter.
Forgotten like she never mattered.
But Lyra Thorne was never just a princess.
She is the last living blood of House Elowen—once the most powerful noble house in the East, now wiped from history.
When the man she loved, the adopted heir they said was dead, returns from the battlefield... everything burns.
Her fake marriage? A farce.
Her obedience? Over.
Her silence? Ended.
The crown wants her quiet.
The nobles want her married.
Her enemies want her gone.
But she’s done playing nice.
Lyra will reclaim her name.
She will rebuild House Elowen.
She will make them all kneel.
And she will take the throne.
He loved her once. But if he stands in her way now—
She’ll crush him, too.
