Splintered Kingdom (Shattered Crown #2)
Splintered Kingdom
by Gretchen Powell Fox — Shattered Crown #2
The trials may be over, but the fight for peace has only begun.
Elyria Lightbreaker survived the Arcane Crucible, but betrayal and the darkness awakened inside her still haunt her. Now she must reclaim the Crown of Concord before the fragile peace between the human and fae realms collapses. Meanwhile, Cedric Thorne is struggling with dangerous new powers, secrets from his past, and a bond with Elyria neither of them seems able—or willing—to break. As enemies emerge and loyalties fracture, their growing desire could become either their salvation or the spark that destroys everything they've fought for.
