She was not born to rule. She was bound to it.
In an empire where vows are weapons and crowns are forged through betrayal, Elara is handed a destiny she never asked for-and a power she cannot refuse.
A forced union binds her to a ruthless political order, where loyalty is measured in blood and silence is survival. Every promise carries a price. Every desire becomes a risk. As the empire tightens its grip, Elara must learn the language of control, manipulation, and sacrifice-before it consumes her entirely.
But power does not come without consequence.
Caught between forbidden desire and ruthless ambition, Elara must decide whether to submit to the crown placed upon her... or reshape the empire that demands her obedience.
Dark, seductive, and unapologetically intense, She Was Given a Crown is the first book in The Empire of Bound Vows series-a dark romantic fantasy of power, possession, and the dangerous cost of love.
