Regalia: Two Worlds: Book Two - The Crown Was Only the Beginning (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798182002271)

THE WORLD CROWNED HIM. THE WORLD BETRAYED HIM.

On the day of his coronation, Dorian stands at the center of the greatest empire on earth-heir to law, order, and the dangerous legacy of the men who made it. Before dawn, he is cast into the sea, stripped of throne, name, and certainty.

Far from the empire that called him master, Dorian washes up in a strange world of pirate ports and drowned cities-and is thrown in chains by the cruelest power on its coast. To reclaim what was taken, he must become more than a ruler raised for a crown. He must learn the hard trade of exile: trust chosen allies, outthink predators, and build power where none should exist.

Brick by brick, he raises an empire's vengeance out of nothing-a trading house, a hidden army, a king's favor, and a patient, daylight ruin closing on the man who wronged him. But as old loyalties crack and a luminous figure begins to haunt his dreams, Dorian begins the long road back-not only to his empire, but to the truth of the men who shaped him.

The crown was only the beginning.
