THE HOLLOW THRONE OF ASHVEINThe Moon chose two heirs. Both died before the blessing finished.For eighteen years, the kingdom of Ashvein waited for the Moon Ceremony, the one night when the ancient Moonstone chooses its next rulers. Ten thousand witnesses watched the heirs receive their blessing. Ten thousand watched them die seconds later, with no blade, no wound, and no explanation.Zephyr, the gravekeeper's son, came that night looking for nothing but answers about his own mother's unsolved murder twelve years ago. Instead he finds the same forbidden symbol burned into the stone where the heirs fell, the symbol that has haunted him since he was a boy, and a conspiracy that reaches far deeper than one family's grief.Nyra arrived in Ashvein a stranger with no past worth claiming. By morning she is the kingdom's prime suspect, carrying a mark on her wrist she has never been able to explain and a connection to a pack everyone insists has been extinct for centuries.As the Moonstone cracks open to reveal a grave that should not exist, and the people meant to protect the truth start sealing it away instead, Zephyr and Nyra are forced into an alliance neither of them wants. Every answer they uncover peels back another layer of a three hundred year lie the throne of Ashvein was built on. Every step closer to the truth marks them both for death.The crown remembers what the kingdom tried to forget. And it is not finished choosing.
