She was born with a heart that should have belonged to no one.
Lyra Veyne has spent eighteen years believing she is an ordinary village girl. She knows nothing about her mysterious silver birthmark, the nightmares that follow her, or the strange way the forest seems to whisper her name.
Until her eighteenth birthday.
That night, twelve ancient bells ring for the first time in centuries—and four powerful men arrive at her doorstep.
A ruthless prince.
A cursed lord of shadows.
An immortal prince with secrets.
A warrior king who refuses to kneel.
They come for Lyra because she is the last Heart Queen, a legendary woman whose magic can awaken, bind, and destroy the hearts of kings.
They were supposed to capture her.
They were supposed to hate her.
Instead, something impossible happens.
Their heartstones begin beating whenever she is near.
As Lyra is drawn deeper into the dark world of Veyrith, she discovers that the four men aren't strangers. They have loved her before—in lives she cannot remember—and each lifetime has ended in blood, betrayal, and death.
But the ancient prophecy everyone fears may be a lie.
Someone has rewritten history.
Someone has spent centuries hiding the truth.
And the immortal Hollow King, Malachor, is willing to destroy kingdoms to claim Lyra's heart.
Now Lyra must choose between the destiny forced upon her and the future she wants for herself.
Because the four men may be willing to give her their hearts...
But Lyra refuses to belong to anyone.
Four kings. One queen. Four hearts.
And when the Heart Queen finally awakens, every crown in the kingdom will have to choose:
Kneel before her—or burn with her.
