Crown of Shattered Bonds
(Shadowmere, Book Two)
They thought the bonds would save them. Now those same ties could tear their world apart.
The Academy's triumph should have marked a new era of magical evolution. Instead, seventeen transformed students stand branded as abominations by the Houses, and whispers of betrayal echo through Shadowmere's halls.
When the Conclave moves to dismantle everything Lyra Nightshade and Cassian Draven have built, loyalties fracture and enemies strike from within. Old allies waver. A crown forged in vengeance rises from the shadows. And love itself-once their greatest strength-threatens to break under the weight of impossible choices.
As cosmic forces tighten their grip and war looms on every horizon, Lyra must decide: will she sacrifice her heart to hold the empire together, or let everything burn in the name of freedom?
In a world where every bond has a price, only one truth remains-
to shatter is to be remade.
Perfect for fans of From Blood and Ash and Throne of Glass, Crown of Shattered Bonds continues the sweeping Shadowmere saga of dangerous love, devastating power, and the courage to evolve when everything is at stake.
