Crown of Blood and Ruin

In this third and final installment of the Northern Kingdom arc, fallen princess Elise Lysander stands beside Valen, the new fae king of a broken land, as she is alternately revered and reviled for forsaking her birthright. As dark secrets of Castle Ravenspire surface, the pair confront enemies whose power exceeds their expectations. Their path involves a perilous request from Valen's imprisoned brother, a prophecy held by Elise's ruthless sister, and a wary alliance with a shadowed thief from a neighboring kingdom, set against the backdrop of looming war. The story blends Viking and fairy-tale elements with worldbuilding, banter-driven romance, and large-scale battles.
