The Rivaled Crown - Holly Renee

nI swore I would never return to this palace. Never kneel before my father again.n nn nBut I have been dragged back into his gilded cage, trapped beneath his rule, and bound to a fate I had tried to escape. n nn nMy body is his to break, my magic his to wield.

And no matter how many nights I dream of Dacre storming these halls, of his hands pulling me from the darkness-dreams are nothing against the greed of a king.n nn nEven if my mate comes for me, even if I am freed from my father's grip, I'm not sure there will be anything left of me to save. n nn nThe kingdom is dying. The land withers beneath the weight of stolen magic, and my father's reign will not end without bloodshed.n nn nBut I have lived in the dark for too long.n nn nAnd I was not made to wither, I was made to burn.n
