Short Synopsis
S. M. Gaither presents Book 4 in the Shadows and Crowns series.

Full Synopsis
Gods have fallen.

A queen is rising.

And the world will never be the same.

The highest throne in the Kethran Empire lies vacant, its once-ruler now a god-ascending, bringing more chaos and darkness to an already chaotic world. The line between the divine and mortal realms is blurring. The battlefield is set. A final, devastating war is on the horizon.

Casia Greythorne has finally come home to claim the throne that is rightfully hers—one that she hopes she can use to unite her empire and help it survive a war with the very gods themselves. But to take hold of her crown, she'll have to wrestle it free of a past that she's avoided for too long. One that is even more complicated than she realized.

The answers she needs to win her war—and save her world and the people she loves—all lie within that past . . .

But discovering them might destroy any hope she has of a future.
