The Crown of Teeth and Flame (The Horn and Flame Saga Book 3)
About
Aeloria Valdren was born to be the Black Spear of Valdren.
Now she is becoming something far more dangerous.
After the devastation of the Breathing Wood, Aeloria wakes changed forever: violet-eyed, marked by living magic, and bound to a power older than crowns, temples or kingdoms. Her forbidden marriage to Caelan Ardent, the common-born dragon-rider chosen by Oathfire, has made them symbols of rebellion — but no throne, court or foreign prince is willing to recognise the vows they swore in blood, grief and fire.
As Crownhold starves beneath Corvin’s paranoia, rebellion spreads through the Forge Quarter, the Vanguard rallies around its uncrowned queen, and the continent begins circling Valdren like carrion beasts scenting weakness. Soren of Marovar refuses to release his claim. Liorayne arrives in white and gold with promises of lawful protection that feel too much like another cage. And beneath it all, ancient locks are failing.
The Crownless Queens are no longer only whispers in prophecy.
They are seeping through root, mirror, blood and stone.
With sacred groves rotting, alliances breaking and old powers waking hungry beneath the world, Aeloria must fight for more than a throne. She must fight for the soldiers who love her, the husband the kingdoms would rather erase, and the future every enemy wants to claim before it can be born.
But the more Aeloria embraces the Wild Crown, the more terrifying she becomes — not only to her enemies, but to those who would follow her into fire.
The Crown of Teeth and Flame is a dark epic romantasy of forbidden love, dragon fire, war-unicorns, royal betrayal, ancient queens and a woman rising from ruin to become the legend every kingdom fears.
