By S. K. Horton
First published 2026
The crown will be claimed-by destiny, by blood, or by betrayal. The crown should be hers. But when Cate discovers the enemy's leader, Rowan, holds her family hostage in Oregon, she must face the unstable portal without a guide, leaving the kingdom in the hands of the power-hungry Baron Graftonberg, whose greedy eyes are set on the throne. With a ticking timeline and Daniel and Lucas by her side, her decision could forever threaten Caelum's livelihood, jeopardizing the fragile peace with Terra. As trouble and suspicion escalate, Lucas and Mya are forced apart, endangering their new relationship. With love at stake and betrayal rampant, war brews between Terra and Caelum, while the Embers plot to destroy whoever survives, capitalizing on the chaos. The next to be crowned will either topple the kingdoms or usher in their salvation. Book 3 of this new Young Adult Romantic Fantasy Series from debut author SK Horton about first love in a fantastical new world. Featuring swoon-worthy romance, court intrigue, backstabbing villains and so much more, it's perfect for fans of Melissa Albert's The Hazel Wood, Lauren Roberts' Powerless, and lovers of all things romantasy!
