Lacedonia: Crown and Claw

Lacedonia: Crown and Claw is an epic romantasy of ancient magic, dangerous love, royal betrayal, sensual power, and kingdoms rising against the darkness that feeds on everything left unspoken. In the nature-bound kingdom of Lacedonia, breath, rhythm, memory, and the living land carry sacred power. Once a princess haunted by missing memories from a childhood kidnapping, Lace has risen into Queen Lace, ruler of roots, Earthsong, and a crown her enemies tried to control before she could fully claim it. Beside her stands King Aran of the Orunmara, a lion-shadow sovereign whose name was erased from Lace’s past to keep their forbidden bond from awakening. What began as a dangerous pull between Crown and Claw has become something far greater: a love powerful enough to expose buried betrayals, break ancient oaths, and shake the courts that once feared them. But their destiny does not belong to them alone. Princess Regent Amara of Silk and Sun enters the heart of their story carrying beauty, truth, desire, and the sins of a bloodline tied to Lace’s kidnapping. Her love is not a secret weakness. It becomes the third force no kingdom expected and no enemy knows how to control. As the Hollowing spreads across the realms, draining memory, shadow, dream, and breath from the living world, Lace, Aran, and Amara must unite fractured kingdoms before the Hollow King turns shame, hunger, and old wounds into war. Lacedonia, Orunmara, Silk and Sun, the Glass Coast, the Singing Marsh, and the Hollow Borderlands are all bound by truths their rulers tried to bury. Now the roots are waking. The shadows remember. The sun refuses to hide. And three crowns must decide whether love can survive being turned into prophecy, politics, and power.
