Thousands of loyal wolves from every allied pack stand in hushed silence as the ancient elders step forward, lifting the heavy, gleaming Eternal Silver Crown and placing it firmly upon my head. The atmosphere is charged with a profound, reverent awe that commands absolute stillness across the entire summit. The crown, forged from the purest starlight-infused metal of the first vault, hums with a familiar, comforting resonance against my brow, anchoring my spirit to the collective heartbeat of our united people.

Twisted, Formed something solid. A crown. Made entirely of white fire. Floating above Lyra's head. Pulsing with her heartbeat. The power inside her calmed. Stopped churning. Flowed into the crown instead. Contained, controlled, given form. The flames died down. The crown remained. Hovering, burning, beautiful and terrible. Lyra stood in the circle, breathing hard. The crown cast white light across her face. Made her eyes glow. One silver, one shadow. Both reflecting the Crownfire.

Kael protested. "You need titles for formal occasions," she insisted. "Traditional or innovative?" Through the bond, we considered. "The Broken Crown," Lyra said suddenly. "That is what we are. Five pieces of what should be singular authority, shattered and reformed into something new." Silence. Then slow nods. "The Broken Crown," Queen Elara repeated, testing the phrase. "The Council of Five, known as the Broken Crown. I approve." She stood, and the Court stood with her.

Seeing him struggle in pain, I asked, "Do you want me to find you a woman?" He seized the back of my head and sealed my lips with a burning kiss. "I want you," he murmured. I forced my breath steady. "Jonathan, look at me. I'm Adam." His voice turned hoarse and low. "Adam… right now, you're the only one who can save me. Please… Will you?"

I replied, bowing slightly. "Which is?" Brandon, the minister in charge of food, asked. "King Cedric wants weapons in exchange for a rice supply," I replied. "Why would King Cedric want weapons when there's gold and other things he could ask for?" Minister Cidarius objected — the minister in charge of weapon supplies, and Pavan's grandfather. "We have plenty of weapons, and merchants supply us more besides. I think it's worth agreeing to. King Cedric is only asking for what his kingdom lacks," Minister Iris, the Minister of Health, offered.

She was playing for the crown, the one they had buried her for. "Alaric," she whispered to the empty room. "I hope you enjoyed your peace. Because I’m coming for everything."

Then Clara stepped forward, her smile stretched too tight. “Your seat?” She looked from me to the queen’s throne, then back to the crowd, inviting them to share her disbelief. “Sienna, there are lies, and then there is treason. You should know the difference.” I raised my left hand. The ruby ring caught the light above the dais, and the Frost Dragon crest along the band flashed silver-blue. “Look carefully.” An old dragon lord standing beside the second table narrowed his eyes. His expression changed first, suspicion draining into shock.

“What is it?” Edwin folded the letter slowly. “Wolfbane has declared war on Icefall.” A heavy silence filled the dining hall. Elder Elijah dropped his spoon onto his plate. “War?” Edwin nodded. The elder looked between us. “This is madness.” His eyes settled on Edwin. “You both want to go to war because of a woman?” Nobody spoke, then Edwin leaned back in his chair. “Yes.” Elder Elijah stared at him in disbelief. Edwin’s gaze shifted toward me. There was no hesitation in his voice.

"I want to be clear, so listen carefully, because I will say this once. I claimed you because the law recognizes what you are to me, and allowing my mate to be chained as a breeder would humiliate the crown before every pack in the kingdom. That is the only reason you are here." Sable stopped singing. I felt her go still inside me, and then I felt her start to shake, and I stood there in front of his desk with my hope draining out of me and hating myself for ever letting it in. Of course. Of course it was the crown, not me. It had never once in my life been me. Each sentence that followed went into me slow and deep, and I kept my eyes on the edge of his desk and my face empty, because I had

Unlike the Crimson Vow, this ritual was spoken in the common tongue so that every person present could understand its meaning. “The Blood Crown bears witness to the truth of rulers. Let falsehood fall away. Let hidden hearts be revealed. Let the throne belong only to one who stands without deceit before the ancient covenant.” As the final words echoed through the chamber, the crimson light surrounding the crown lifted into the air. It flowed like liquid fire before gathering above the center of the hall, where it slowly formed a great circle of glowing runes. A gentle force filled the room. No one felt threatened. Instead, it was as though the hall itself had begun listening.
