The Shattered Crown

The crown was never meant to be worn. It was meant to break kings.
When Aric, a village nobody, discovers a letter warning that the Shattered Crown still pulses where fire fell, he becomes entangled in a legacy forged in blood and ruin. Hunted by soldiers, haunted by the relic's whispers, and unwillingly bound to a band of outcasts, Aric must choose: seize the power that destroyed empires or resist it and risk losing everyone he loves.
But the crown has no interest in being ignored.
Sweeping from burned cities to frozen craters, from whispered betrayals to desperate survival, The Shattered Crown is a darkly beautiful tale of sacrifice, resilience, and the fragile hope that grows in the cracks of ruin.
