The fourth book in the Shadows & Crowns series, with over 4.4M views on TikTok.

Gods have fallen. A queen is rising. And the world will never be the same.

The throne of the Kethran Empire lies empty, its ruler now a god bringing darkness and chaos to the world. The line between the divine and mortal realms is blurring. The battlefield is set and a final, devastating war is on the horizon.

Casia Greythorne is ready to take her place on the throne, to unite the empire and stand against the gods themselves. But to claim her crown—to save her world and the people she loves—she must confront her past and finally discover the answers hidden within it.

Even though it may destroy her hope of a future.
