The Crown That Chose Her Again
by Vivienne Rowe
Elara Vey had one hand on the coronation-hall door when her sister screamed her name.
Three hundred witnesses turned.
At the far end of the hall, Liora stood beneath the oathstone arch in a red gown, both hands clamped around the living crown.
The crown rejected the young queen in front of the kingdom. It chose her exiled sister instead. The former queen had no magic left—and one day before it took her son.
