Throne of Silver and Salt: Warden's Key Book Two
Ravna took the Black Throne to stop being a weapon on someone else's leash. Now the city runs on her blood-and it is killing her by inches.
Every tear in the world's skin screams through her nerves. Every law the Regency ever carved into the grid is written in her bones. As she rewrites the Throne's clauses-voiding ownership, ripping collars out at the root-Warden Brann tightens his barricades and Chancellor Maela starves the districts into obedience, blaming every death on the "rogue Key" who dared to sit the seat.
Geirr, the monster Lock built to burn out in her place, has already broken his own making once to stand beside her. He refuses to be her handler, refuses to be her sacrifice...and kneels as her consort instead, anchoring the power that is tearing her apart. When Mimics infiltrate her ranks wearing the faces of the people she loves, when Maela offers bread and amnesty in exchange for Ravna's surrender, and when the war pushes them into choices that look too much like the empire they're trying to topple, Ravna has to decide how far she's willing to go.
She can stabilize the grid from a throne that feels like a butcher's table. She can run herself to the bone in the streets, sealing tears one bloody palm at a time. She cannot do both.
If she fails, the Regency keeps the city. If she succeeds, the law changes for everyone-Keys, Locks, and the monsters that learned to wear their skins.
Throne of Silver and Salt is a high-heat dark fantasy romance about a feral Key, the monster Warden who chooses kneeling over owning, and the city that will either be freed by their rebellion...or buried with them.
