National bestseller

A political marriage meant to secure peace… and a forbidden love that threatens to shatter it. The Twisted Throne shifts the spotlight to Ahnna, a commander-turned-princess bargaining for her ruined homeland inside a glittering court full of knives—only to fall for the wrong brother.

The vibe

Haunted by Ithicana’s invasion and convinced she failed her people, Ahnna believes saving her homeland may require leaving it behind forever. With Ithicana in ruins and its people impoverished, the wealthy kingdom of Harendell claims her as a bride for its crown prince. Ahnna is prepared to play future queen, gain influence, and control the gold tied to the throne—whatever it takes to rebuild what was destroyed.

But Harendell’s court is all beautiful surfaces and a dark underbelly of schemes, duplicity, and power grabs. The one person who seems to stand above the politics isn’t her future husband—it’s his infuriating half brother, James. And as Ahnna starts to question whether Harendell is truly an ally, she finds herself pulled into a dangerous attraction that could ignite a new war.
