In the veiled halls of the Palace of Omomel, where whispers cloak themselves in silk and secrets wear crowns, I am bound to serve. Oh, how I serve. With a mop as my scepter and a wild yearning clawing at my soul, I scrub the floors beneath the feet of the mighty. They call him Prince Asher, but to me, he's the dream that keeps the nightmares at bay. They say it's a dangerous game, watching him with these hungry eyes, trailing him with my shadow. But what's life without a little danger? Without a little... obsession? They think they know the blood that beats in the veins of this palace. They know nothing. For when the walls shiver and the screams rise, it's not just the stone that bleeds. The palace is on the brink of an abyss. And something inside me... awakens. A fury, a power, a burning vengeance that roars for release. And then there's Tate—steadfast, enigmatic, the ember of something new and terrifyingly tender within the chaos. With each clandestine glance, with every guarded whisper, the dance of our intertwined paths grow ever more complex. I am Jaelyn, once a whisper in the background, now a name that will be etched in the flames of rebellion. I’m now on a path paved with razor-edged intentions and a quest that dances on the knife's edge between devotion and madness. They wanted a servant. They sought a handmaiden. They spawned a storm with the essence of fixation coursing through her being. Will you follow me through the ashes? Will you watch me rise? For I am Jaelyn, and this is but the beginning of the dance. Pick up "Crown Burning," the first in the "Blood of the Sovereign" series, and step into a world where the line between loyalty and obsession blurs, and where every heart hides a throne drenched in shadow and fire. Welcome to the palace, my future subjects. Let the game of power and passion begin. Who said obsession was a bad thing?

I try to ignore her. It’s impossible. Serving in the palace, Jaelyn and I crossed paths, sharing fleeting moments—brief glances, stolen smiles. But not my secrets. She clings to a moment of kindness I once showed her, a cursory gesture that seems to bind her to me. Now, she watches me, a silent shadow trailing my every move. They call it obsession. I call it a distraction. The Council’s oppressive grip tightens around Nelahs, and I vow to break free. I’ll never forget the day I discovered my true calling—to seize power at any cost. Or the first time I saw fear in her eyes. I am the prince driven by dark ambitions and relentless desires, projecting kindness to those around me, masking my true intentions. Jaelyn doesn’t know the depths of my cravings or the lengths I’ll go to achieve my goals. The palace is nothing but power plays and hidden agendas, but one truth remains. I will navigate it with ruthless precision. Let Jaelyn think I’m hers like all the others. The power will be mine. Pick up "Shadowed Obsession," the prequel to the "Blood of the Sovereign" series, and step into a world where ambition blurs with obsession, and power is the ultimate prize.
