The Forbidden Crown

crown that should never be worn. A destiny that cannot be denied. Aradia never wished for power. Born the daughter of a minor noble house, she longed only for freedom beyond the iron walls of the kingdom. But when an ancient prophecy names her as the one destined to claim the Forbidden Crown—a relic said to bring ruin to whoever dares wear it—her life is torn apart. Thrust into a court where daggers are hidden behind smiles and whispers carry more weight than swords, Aradia must navigate deadly intrigue, betrayal, and the schemes of rival houses.
