The rising queen was dead and who better to assume the throne than her identical twin? Jayden Yearwood was a force of nature not by choice, but by necessity. Her father’s iron fist often dripped with blood when she was involved, but if it meant protecting her sister from a similar fate, that was enough. Her plan was simple. Survive until Alex became the next queen, and then she could finally flee her father’s wretched, poisonous claws once and for all…but the Goddess rarely catered to the desires of mortals. Months before her twin’s coronation, someone had Alexius killed, rousing a sleeping beast deep within Jayden’s chest—an ascended alpha was bred by the strength of the soul, imbuing their master with potential beyond their wildest dreams. For Jayden, it’d come seconds too late, and every time she looked at the triplets all she saw was her sister’s bloodied face. Scarred and broken, Jayden prowls the dark streets of Khul in search of those who stole everything from her. Along the way, sinister truths are uncovered, leaving the princess fearful of the looming plot against not only her family but the whole of Ellion. Proving destiny to be bigger than one death, one love, or one life.

The triplets are now kings and Jayden has become a monster. Everything changed during the four months her wrecked body took to recover. While the people of the castle address her as Your Highness, they’ve yet to marry or complete the mating bond. Not that it'd be a problem any longer…her resistance fled with her father, leaving Jayden’s heart open for the triplets to slip inside. …but romance and marriage were the least of their problems. Jayden’s alpha was exposed, and not only are their advisors salivating at the idea of powerful heirs her blood could produce, but they preferred a princess who sat back and shut up. Hell, fucking, no. An ascended alpha was the apex predator. Above supremes. Above kings. Above Gods . If dominance was the only way to make pompous men heel, she had no problem showing them, but a dangerous shadow lurked within Jayden’s mind, threatening to swallow her whole. Violence is brewing. In the midst of learning about her new power and attraction to the kings who helped her wield it, enemies circle their country on all sides. During the years of peace, many others were gearing up for the opposite. Ellion needed strength, stability, and level heads. Jayden must grasp control or fall prey to the dark recesses of her tortured mind.

Gideon Yearwood, the traitor that drove Ellion to its knees, is now a prisoner of war. Jayden was relieved to finally rest knowing her wicked father was set for execution...but the Goddess had other plans. Not only did Erin Gildear leave a detailed notebook containing all of Delton's vile secrets upon his death, but the largest gathering of royalty was less than a month away. Enlisting Jayden's help, her mates vow to convince fellow world leaders of Delton's treachery without starting a war. It was time to turn their back on bloodshed and take hold of diplomacy. Not only for the sake of their people—but for the sake of Jayden's soul. The more she utilized the power, the further Jayden's mind spiraled. And while she'd always been willing to sacrifice herself to protect her family, her mates thought the cost was too high...leading Jayden to promise she would ignore the monster writhing beneath her skin, instead using wit to unravel the web of lies those closest to her harbored. Resisting the pull of her second nature may destroy all of Ellion, but accepting it would destroy her.
