Whispers of The Eternal Crown: Volume One: Storm Between Two Crowns Romantic story, wars and suspense in one book

When the sun and the moon unite in the shadow of war, the Eternal Crown shall wake from its stone sleep." The prophecy was written in stone before either kingdom existed. Neither of them believed in it. Then their hands touched - and the temple walls lit up. Lucian Vale came back from three years of war with four provinces taken, four hundred men dead, and a silence so heavy his own soldiers thought he'd lost his voice somewhere in the eastern marshes. He is called the Prince of Ash. He has earned it. Selene Ardyn is the Moon Kingdom's perfectly composed princess - books arranged by subject, words arranged by consequence, every feeling arranged somewhere her mother's council cannot see it. She goes to the ancient forest alone because it is the only place the thing pushing against her ribs finally goes quiet. They were never supposed to meet. The forest had other plans. Five days. One broken temple. An ancient prophecy neither of them asked for. And something watching from the reeds - patient, deliberate, already three moves ahead. The slow burn is real. The cliffhanger is brutal. The story is not finished. Volume One of the Whispers of the Eternal Crown series. Start here. You won't stop.
