Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Emery Sullivan has survived her entire life in the Black Sinks by knowing one simple rule: never touch what belongs to the powerful.Then a dead queen's crown falls into her hands.When the Ashen Diadem crashes into the drainage tunnels beneath the royal plaza, Emery grabs it without knowing what it is. The ancient star-iron crown does not merely rest upon her head. It fuses with her bones, awakening a dormant power in her blood and opening her mind to the consciousness of Lady Victoria Beaumont-the infamous Archon whose execution has just shaken the kingdom.Suddenly, Emery is no longer an anonymous scavenger.She has become the vessel of a dead sovereign.Victoria is proud, merciless, and furious at the world that murdered her. She takes control of Emery's body with terrifying ease, teaching the street girl how to wield kinetic Resonance, shatter star-iron, and survive the Huntsmen sent to capture her. Emery hates the voice inside her, but she soon realizes that Victoria's memories contain secrets capable of destroying the kingdom.The crown was never merely a weapon.It is part of an ancient system of power connecting the royal bloodline, the mysterious Weaver, and the magical machinery beneath the palace. King Valerian Ravenscroft wants the Diadem recovered before its hidden resonance can expose the truth behind the execution of Lady Victoria.Commander Dominic Vaughn is ordered to hunt Emery down. Yet the closer he gets, the more he questions the royal orders he has spent his life obeying. Emery's enemies become reluctant allies as the kingdom's carefully constructed history begins to collapse.Meanwhile, Victoria's influence grows stronger.Every battle makes Emery more powerful-but also threatens to erase the boundary between the living girl and the dead woman inside her. Victoria wants revenge. Emery wants freedom. And the crown demands a vessel strong enough to survive the final confrontation.When Emery reaches the heart of the royal palace, she must confront the machinery that created the kingdom's magical hierarchy and the people who turned Victoria's death into a political weapon. Dominic stands beside her as the old order begins to fracture, while Emery faces the terrifying possibility that victory may require surrendering part of herself.The Crown Beneath the Spell is a dark epic fantasy of forbidden power, possession, rebellion, royal conspiracies, and an unlikely bond between a hunted girl and the man ordered to destroy her. Beneath the crown lies a dead queen's fury-and beneath the spell lies the question of who Emery will become when the voice inside her finally falls silent.
