Crown of Sorrows

Heavy is the Crown... Aurea used to spend her days worrying about which gown to wear to the ball, never wondering about the world outside the comforts of the palace... until her father is murdered right in front of her. As her world falls apart, Aurea must rely on the man she hates the most to not only survive but to avenge her father and take back her birthright as heir to the throne. While being hunted by those who betrayed her, she finds the empire she thought she knew, to be harsh and ugly.
