Description

About the Book:

A kingdom on the brink of ruin. A princess marked for death. A necromancer willing to defy destiny itself.

In The Gilded Crown, the first book in The Raven’s Trade series, a young woman blessed—or cursed—with the power to command the dead is drawn into a perilous game of power and prophecy. When she learns that the kingdom’s beloved princess is fated to die, she vows to rewrite history, even as dark forces conspire to ensure the prophecy is fulfilled.

But fate is not so easily undone. As she delves deeper into courtly intrigue, forbidden magic, and the deadly whispers of spirits long past, she begins to realize that saving the princess may come at an unthinkable price. With war looming and betrayal lurking in every shadow, she must decide how far she is willing to go—and what she is willing to sacrifice—to change a future already written in blood.

Lush, atmospheric, and brimming with dark magic, The Gilded Crown is a gripping tale of love, power, and the relentless pull of fate. Perfect for readers of One Dark Window, this debut will enchant and haunt long after the final page.
