She was born of prophecy—first daughter of the Morrigan bloodline. And now, they want her to kneel. Ava has always known power laced her blood, but she never expected to become the center of a war between rival Alphas, a rising Syndicate, and a legacy wrapped in dark magic. As the firstborn of the Morrigan line in generations, Ava is feared, watched, and manipulated—especially by the mother who should have protected her. When a failed alliance forces her to Cian—an Alpha bound by shadows and secrets—Ava finds herself torn between rebellion and fate. Cian isn’t just powerful—he’s her mate. But their bond threatens to burn down everything both of them were raised to protect. With dark forces rising and the capital ready to fall, Ava must reclaim the crown twisted by bloodlines and betrayal. Because if she doesn’t rule, she’ll be destroyed. Perfect for fans of steamy fantasy romance, fated mates, and morally gray heroines, Crooked Crown is the first book in a dark, addictive series where crowns cut deeper than blades—and legacies are earned in fire.
