The Crown of Shadows
Some bloodlines are forgotten. Some secrets refuse to die. Twenty years ago, the kingdom of Aurelith fell. Its royal family was slaughtered, its magic erased from history, and its lands swallowed by the powerful kingdom of Varellia. But history has a way of keeping secrets. Living quietly under a false identity, Y/N has never known the truth about her origins. Her only unusual gift is the ability to see people’s emotions through colored auras. A gift she has spent her entire life hiding. Until one unexpected encounter brings her before the royal family of Varellia. Now trapped within the walls of a palace filled with secrets, Y/N finds herself under the watchful eye of Crown Prince Lucien Draven. Tall, devastatingly handsome, and notoriously cold, Lucien has little patience for anyone, especially a stubborn girl who refuses to acknowledge his authority. He is everything she despises. She is everything he finds inconvenient. But beneath the palace’s beautiful exterior lies a history soaked in blood, betrayal, and forbidden magic. And Y/N’s unusual ability may be the key to uncovering a truth that could destroy the crown. Because the girl everyone believes to be nobody is actually the last surviving heir to Aurelith. And the prince whose kingdom destroyed hers may be the one person she cannot afford to trust. A forgotten princess. A ruthless prince. Two kingdoms built on lies. And a love neither of them should ever allow.
