The shodowbound prince (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798278947141)

Power was never meant to be claimed.
It was meant to be restrained.

When Lyra's hidden fire awakens, it does not crown her-it marks her as a threat.

As ancient courts close in and neutrality fractures, Lyra draws a line the world was never meant to cross. Bound by choice rather than prophecy, she refuses the crowns offered to her and earns enemies determined to break her will.

At her side stands a prince forged in shadow, sworn not to rule, but to hold the darkness back as the Lightless King begins to stir once more.

Caught between power and responsibility, Lyra must decide how much she is willing to burn to protect those who refuse to kneel-before the world forces her to choose between restraint and ruin.

Because some flames are not meant to conquer.
They are meant to end the game.
