Ashwing Court

By Chelsea DeGroat

In the obsidian heart of Aethelburg, where ravens speak in prophecy and royalty walks hand-in-hand with curse, Kael is born to rule-but silenced before her first breath.

Branded by an ancient pact and tethered to a god imprisoned in the depths of the mountains, Kael is the Silent Heir: a queen whose voice was traded for divine power, and whose kingdom fractures beneath the weight of forgotten rituals and creeping rebellion. In court, alliances shift like wind-blown ash. In dreams, spectral figures whisper of betrayal, sacrifice, and a relic called the Obsidian Heart-pulsing with power vast enough to remake the world.

As assassins close in and truth unravels like tangled thread, Kael must confront not only those who seek the god's release-but her own fractured soul, haunted by glimpses of her mother's tyranny, forbidden magic, and a love that risks igniting chaos itself.

Political scheming. Legacy of betrayal. A goddess waiting to wake. And a silent monarch who might be the key to salvation-or the catalyst of destruction.
