A Crown of Ruin

Poppy has fallen into stasis, her body broken and power spent, carried beyond the mortal realm, where she lies suspended in dreams. While she sleeps, Casteel faces a world without her that is raw, wrathful, and altered in ways he does not yet understand. Kieran steadies a kingdom trembling under the weight of loss and shoulders what he cannot say aloud as fractures between gods, mortals, and fate widen. Grief becomes a guide, loyalty a burden, and love is described as the force holding the realms together. This book reveals the unseen moments between The Primal of Blood and Bone and The Throne of Bone and Ash.
