Embers of Her Crown

She was never meant to wear a crown. She only wanted to escape. When Iva falls through time into the world of a powerful king she once studied in history books, all she seeks is a way back home — and maybe a handful of royal jewels to ease the pain of the life she left behind. But the kingdom has other plans. Ashvardan, the enigmatic ruler feared and revered in equal measure, sees something strange in Iva — something she refuses to explain. And while she hides her truth, he begins to unravel his own. As allies become enemies and secrets threaten to burn the realm from within, Iva must choose: return to the world that broke her... or claim the one she never imagined she could belong to. Because some crowns are never given — they’re earned in fire.
