The Gilded Crown

"Power means nothing if you don't know how to wield it."She has won. Lyra Seravell has won the hand of Prince Cassian Vaelros, and with it, the crown of Valerieth.She should be joyous, irrevocably excited, and yet, betrayal carries a harsh sting. Kaden is still trapped in his cold state, Cassian isn't the strict royal he pretends to be, and before Lyra can even take the throne, she's thrust into yet another death trap-a marriage tour. After danger unfolds in the palace, Cassian and Lyra are whisked away from Aurea to tour the regions, an event painted to be a celebration of their engagement.However, fealty is not something assumed in Valerieth, but earned. Lyra must secure the regions' loyalty, or else she will be charged with treason, a crime punishable by death.Her power is anything but shrinking, and as she journeys through the kingdom she finds there is much more to this rebellion than meets the eye. Because some secrets were never meant to go untold.Some were meant to burn. One Marriage. One Tour. One Crown.
