But when she discovers a black, humming shard inside a forgotten Concordant wreck, she awakens something far older - and far more dangerous - than treasure.Across the Spiral, powers begin to move.A disgraced naval lieutenant is hunted by the empire he once served. A noblewoman imprisoned by her own bloodline begins to understand that her "illness" is power. An excommunicated priest-scholar follows a trail of forbidden history. And somewhere in the dark, a centuries-old loomwright who already holds three shards of the Crown waits for the others to be found.Thrown together aboard the Ember Argent, Kerin and her unlikely crew must run from warships, priesthoods, assassins, and the ghosts of a civilisation that should have stayed dead.Because the Crown is being reforged.And whoever wears it may not save the Spiral.They may rule it.Ashes of the Sundered Crown is Book One of The Starwrought Saga, an epic space fantasy adventure for readers who love ancient relics, living starships, forbidden magic, found-family crews, morally complex villains, and vast fallen empires.
