CROWN OF BLOOD AND SHADOWS
Priory of the Orange Tree x Jasad Heir x Nausicaa: Valley of the WindThe rise to power is a tale as old as time, and while Aecia has survived wars and ploys, the blood of innocents seeping into the land cries out. As one war ends, another threatens to begin. Whilst a king struggles to maintain control, Houses weave their webs of influence and treason; children walk the knife-edge between family honour and the desires of their own hearts; and an ancient force, once forgotten, awakens beneath a shroud of thinning mist.Kaivo of Loch Mera, one of the most elusive thieves this side of the Southern Gate, sees his life collapse after a heist gone wrong.
Malachi Khajit, Crown Prince of Eltheria, fights to secure a throne already slipping from beneath him. The court is a nest of serpents, influence is currency and treachery is spoken in honeyed tones.
Ellayne Rosemaul, once daughter of the crumbling House Rosemaul and princess of a forgotten realm, is offered as a bride to Malachi—the enemy heir—for a peace she knows is nothing more than her father’s revenge. Her true mission is simple: kill the prince, unmake Eltheria from within, and reclaim the dignity of her dying people. But as she steps into the glittering snare of court, Ellayne finds that the line between vengeance and destiny blurs, and the prince she must betray is nothing like the monster she was raised to hate.Afeni Khajit, Captain of the Dorja Kai militia and Princess of Eltheria, has long chosen the blade over the crown. But when a mysterious stranger arrives bearing knowledge of a lost relic—a fragment of the ancient Emberflower that once fuelled the world’s magic—Afeni is thrust into a quest that leads her deep into the desert’s forgotten bones. If the relic still exists, it may be the only force capable of saving her people from the mist’s encroaching death.As mist thickens and kingdoms fracture, the four are drawn together by fate, lies, and the dying heartbeat of a once-luminous world. Their choices will determine whether Aecia is reborn—or consumed from within.
