When a neighboring kingdom slaughters the ruling family, Princess Lyssa escapes and flees into the wilderness. Mistaken for a peasant girl, she is given refuge by a gruff blacksmith, where she must learn to become his apprentice, trading fancy balls for learning to forge weapons. But as her hands grow rough and her tears run dry, she discovers something unexpected: a rare and forbidden talent of magic. And an undeniable connection with the blacksmith's son. When whispers spread that the princess may have survived, hunting parties scour the land, forcing Lyssa to choose: remain in the shadows and survive, or risk everything for the legend of a fractured crown, its pieces scattered across the realm, waiting to be reforged by the one true heir. Her journey begins with fire and iron. It will end with blood and destiny.
