When restless museum assistant Malina stumbles upon a forgotten Hall of Mirrors after hours, she is drawn into a shimmering relic that tears her from the modern world - and drops her into a brutal, ancient kingdom on the edge of collapse.
Mistaken for a witch and seized by guards, Malina finds herself thrust into the glittering, venomous world of the royal harem, where survival demands submission, and every smile hides a knife. There, she encounters Dorian - a weary young king burdened by a dying court, a crumbling throne, and enemies sharpening their blades in the shadows.
Haunted by a vision from the mirror - Find the King. Save the Kingdom. Or lose them both - Malina must navigate a labyrinth of treachery, rebellion, and forbidden desire. As unrest brews beyond the palace walls and the harem itself becomes a battlefield, she must decide: will she simply survive... or rise?
Torn between a destiny she never asked for and a future she might still shape, Malina will have to confront her deepest fears, claim her strength, and face a terrible truth - that saving a broken kingdom may cost her everything, even her heart.
Crowned in Another Time is a sweeping romantic fantasy of survival, sacrifice, and rebirth - perfect for readers who crave fierce heroines, slow-burn enemies-to-allies romance, and kingdoms worth bleeding for.
