Crown of Embers and Desire: In a world of embers and betrayal, desire may be her greatest weapon.

By Sunpreet Gujahi

Seventeen-year-old Elara Hayes thought she was just another scholarship student at Westridge Academy-until a mysterious stranger with amber eyes and a blade of blue fire shatters her reality. When shadowy creatures invade her world and a glowing birthmark awakens ancient magic within her, Elara is thrust into the realm of Nyxhaven, a land of twin moons, elemental power, and dangerous secrets.

There, she learns she is Princess Elariel Nyxhaven, the last heir to a fallen kingdom ruled by a ruthless usurper. As she navigates court politics, forbidden magic, and a growing rebellion, Elara must confront the truth of her lineage and the prophecy that binds her fate to the realm's survival.

With the help of Kieran Nightshade-a brooding Shadowguard sworn to protect her-and a band of loyal resistance fighters, Elara embarks on a journey to reclaim her throne. But power comes at a cost, and love may demand the ultimate sacrifice.

As war looms and ancient forces stir, Elara must decide: will she embrace her destiny and ignite the embers of revolution, or will desire consume the crown she was born to wear?
