The Tale of Crowns

Velora Maris has always been a dreamer, too ordinary to matter in a world ruled by glittering crowns and fragile vows of peace. A simple girl from the village of Saltmere, her only ambition was to uncover the truth about her father.Instead, she is dragged into a deadly game of courts and kingdoms, where ancient magic stirs and three princes hold the power to change her fate.As treacherous trials begin, two royal brothers pull Velora's heart in opposite directions. One offers her a lifetime of loyalty and safety. The other tempts her with shadows, fire, and a passion that could burn her world to ash. Both want her. Both could ruin her.But the ocean has claimed Velora for more than just a game of hearts. Beneath the scheming courts lies a truth older than thrones-and a dormant power that bends only to her command. As war looms on the horizon and love tangles with rivalry, Velora must decide who to trust, how much to sacrifice, and what kind of storm she will become.The kind that destroys... or the kind that saves.
