Crown of Shadows

They were told the monsters were only fairy tales. They were lied to.

Mayu was never meant to rule-and ever since she began acting like a complete stranger, her best friend and the king’s enforcer, Aaron, knows something is deeply wrong. But before he can uncover what changed her, the king is slaughtered in a brutal, ritualistic murder that no human weapon could inflict.

Inheriting a crown on the brink of collapse, Mayu faces a ruthless court and superstitious nobility. Toby, her friend and the lord next in line for the crown, would rather force Mayu into marriage than become an “Heir of Death”, a cursed title that threatens his life. To block court distractions, Mayu enters a fake engagement with Aaron. Yet behind closed doors, she relies on Enzo, a mysterious guardian seen as the “insane soldier.” Though Enzo manages to quiet the nobility, his dark presence sparks fierce suspicion in Aaron.
