War for the Crown: Book Three of Throne Palms Series: 3

Xavier Calloway holds the throne now - but holding it and keeping it are two very different fights. Old-guard lieutenants question an outsider's right to lead, Kazarian shifts from open war to something more dangerous - quiet sabotage from within - and a betrayal from inside Xavier's own inner circle threatens to break the one loyalty he never thought to question. Just as the family finds its footing, a stranger surfaces with a legitimate blood claim to everything Xavier has built: Emilio De La Rosa, the son of a brother Salvador erased from history - and Kazarian's newest weapon. What begins as a question of legitimacy explodes into a citywide war for control of the throne itself, forcing former enemies into uneasy alliance and pushing Xavier toward a final, decisive reckoning with the man who has haunted this family from the shadows since the very beginning.
