King Lear meets Shadow and Bone

—

Seal our crown, and thus seal our souls.

The legacy of Selade's last Zsar bleeds deeper than millenia. It bleeds between and within the houses bearing the shards of Maxim's crown, and deeper still, into the nation's soul.

Estyia Verlova, joint-youngest of Vaer, had no intentions of becoming the heir. When a rebellion driven by the legacy of historical wounds hits the one place she called home, she witnesses first-hand the power of sacrifice and bloodshed.

It will take more than negotiation to address the fractures splitting everyone apart. She can only hope Fate does not consume her soul by then.
