Crown Of Midnight Kindle の小説・ストーリー

Opening my eyes back, I watch the clan above. A sigh escapes my lips. Then, deciding it would be best to head back in, I set my cup down and go to bed. I tried to fall asleep, but my nights have been restless. I just can’t. Sitting in bed, I look at the closet. I had hidden the crown in Rose’s closet. Getting up, I turn the light on and grab the box from the upper shelf. Carefully, I laid it on the floor and sit. Removing the cloth, I stare at the crown, confused. Why was the crown glowing?

A grand chandelier hangs from the high ceiling, casting a warm light. In the center, there are mahogany tables with velvet chairs, perfect for reading. A fireplace with an ornate mantel and a large painting above it adds to the cozy atmosphere. Tall windows with heavy curtains let in natural light, and a plush Persian rug covers the floor. I ran my hands across the shelves, my fingers came to a halt in one specific book. “Midnight Howls.” A famous book by Orin Darkhowl. According to Thalia’s brother Talon.

Liana’s POV The Crown does not ask for my consent. The instant the understanding settles into me—that the presence beyond Midnight moves through recognition, through bonds rather than distance—the Crown reacts like a living thing that has finally identified its predator. Power surges up my spine with brutal force, knocking the breath from my lungs as my vision fractures into white-hot shards. Midnight answers. Not with sound. With definition. The land folds inward, not shrinking but sharpening, every boundary snapping into place with terrifying precision. Inside becomes absolute. Outside becomes irrelevant. I feel it ripple through soil and root, through stone and stream, through every livin

"The Midnight Queen is dead." Then those frightening words: "Now I wear the crown."

He said confidently. I smiled sadly. “I don’t think either of us knows how.” ********* Another two weeks passed. The waiting became unbearable. Every morning, healers visited Lily’s chamber. Every evening, the elders asked whether there was any news. Every full moon, I prayed that somehow…Somehow…The Moon Goddess would perform a miracle. That perhaps I would wake carrying Kael’s child. I knew it was foolish, but hope is a difficult thing to kill. It happened on a rainy afternoon.

I’ll shatter it before dawn, and I’ll make her thank me for it. ═══════⊹⊱♚⊰⊹═══════ What Awaits Author’s Note: You’ve met the firebrand. You’ve seen the king fracture. Now—watch the tower burn. Midnight Crown is a dark romance built on crime, obsession, betrayal, and slow-burn war between two people who should have destroyed each other—but didn’t. Because control is never clean, and neither is love. You’ll drown in silence and secrets as the story unfolds through four arcs:

“Two days ago, Alexander personally took her to a private jeweler. Measurements, design consultations—he stayed the entire time.” My heart clenched. “There’s more,” Ethan continued. “And it gets worse.” “I accessed her private cloud. Password was Alexander’s birthday.” Inside were photos. Hundreds of them. I opened the file he sent. The album was titled: My Knight. The most recent post was dated two days ago. He said this crown belongs only to me. Just like him. Next week’s family dinner—he promised to give me a name. The image showed an exquisite bridal crown— diamonds and sapphires set in a constellation pattern.

Every major kingdom had been summoned to the Summit of the Twelve Alphas … the first gathering since my awakening had shaken the world. Cassian read the guest list aloud, steady, until his jaw locked around one name. “Blackthorn Kingdom.” Silence. Every eye in the room found me. I smiled instead of flinching … slow, calm, a little dangerous, even to my own ears. “Good. I’m tired of hiding.” ⸻ They opened the treasury that afternoon and drew the Moon Crown out from beneath centuries of sealed magic … a crown that had rejected every ruler who’d dared reach for it, its silver surface cold enough to fog the glass case around it.

Still kneeling from the combat, her composure entirely rebuilt in the twenty minutes since she went down. "You have the crown," she says. "Congratulations. You fought well." Her eyes hold mine without blinking. "But the ritual is tonight. The host has been ready for weeks. The red moon rises tomorrow." She tilts her head. "Nothing you did in that room stops what is already moving." She looks away. Like I am already something that happened in the past.

Something gleamed. A pedestal. Resting upon it lay an ancient crown. Forged from black metal unlike anything they had ever seen. Its surface looked almost alive. Silver veins pulsed beneath it like flowing blood. No jewels. No gold. Only a crescent moon rising from its center. No one stepped forward. Even Mason remained rooted where he stood. Elias whispered in disbelief. "...The Crown of Ash and Moon." Caius lowered his head. "So it truly exists." Damon muttered under his breath,
