Born to a crown she never wanted. Bound to a legacy she refuses to obey.
As the king’s illegitimate daughter, Princess Valerie Aurum Kryon Bonesses has spent her life shaped by cruelty disguised as tradition. Raised to be perfect — not just — she learned early that mercy has no place within royal blood.
But Valerie refuses to bend.
When she escapes the castle and steps beyond its gilded walls, she discovers a world her family has long controlled from the shadows — dwarves, elves, and humans alike, all bearing the weight of the crown’s quiet brutality.
What she finds is not just suffering… but truth behind it.
In a realm where heirs are broken to prove their worth, Valerie must decide: become the monster her family made… or destroy the crown that created them.
As she begins to understand the damage her lineage has wrought, her rebellion shifts from defiance to purpose. Some traditions are not meant to be followed. They are meant to be shattered.
And if the only way to save them all is to claim the very throne she once rejected — then she will return.
Not as a daughter of the crown…
… but as the one who will shatter it.
