She killed a tyrant to end a war. Now, she must escape his son’s grasp.

Aideen thought killing the Great King would bring peace. Instead, she’s a prisoner of his heir alongside the prince who was supposed to save the kingdom. With dual elements raging inside of her and on the edge of insanity from the ocean goddess’s blessing forced upon her, she plans her escape and her revenge.

Kenneth has reunited with his childhood best friend, Ash, after a decade apart only to become subjects to the new king’s strange experiments after a coup gone wrong. Confused with newfound feelings he’s trying to ignore, Kenneth swears to protect Ash—no matter the cost.

The new King and his witch have made a tantalizing bargain: resurrect Aideen’s younger brother to ensure their power over her. But the witch has her own hidden plan, and she’s about to become the most powerful she’s been in centuries.

Everything you need to know about my book ⬇️

short synopsis: The Sapphire Crown is a YA fantasy novel about a girl with fire abilities who gets recruited to go undercover in the enemy’s castle to steal the King’s cursed crown. What she doesn’t tell anyone is that she has another goal in mind: to kill the King for all the suffering he has caused her people.

She makes allies, discovers secrets, meets a witch, and tries very hard not to fall in love with her enemy who is definitely hiding something.

What to expect:
🔥 elemental magic
🏰 undercover castle heist
🎀 a yearning, yet forbidden romance
💔 secrets, betrayals, and heart break
👑 a King getting the life sucked out of him by an ancient crown
⭐️ an unreliable narrator

OFFICIAL BLURB: ⬇️

Steal the crown. Make it out of the castle alive.

An easy task, really.

The most difficult instruction: don’t kill the King.
But...what if I just simply can’t resist?

16-year-old Aideen is a Tamer of Fire living under the drowning oppression of the Great King, a powerful Waterworker who seized the throne a decade ago and started a war that hasn’t stopped. Her belly aches for food and her heart yearns for the way things were before the war.

Left hollow from the death of her family member and seeking for any semblance of control in her life, Aideen pulls off increasingly riskier protests until she’s arrested by her own brother for high treason to the crown.

She is sentenced to a fate she considers worse than death: enslavement to the King. An exiled Waterworker boy, Caspian, offers her an escape, recruiting her into the Rebellion. Her task: disguise herself as the enemy and compete to be the King’s Selected maidservant, steal his precious sapphire crown, and try not to get caught and killed.

Caspian is the opposite of Aideen-quiet, pale, cold-yet she finds it difficult to fight against her growing feelings of affection, despite not even being able to touch each other with burning.

Aideen discovers something unexpectedly tempting about the crown that seems to be nailed into the King's skull. While her fingers spark at the idea of burning him and his entire Realm, she refuses to acknowledge a dormant ability t by @renee.brown.author
