Queen Merrin might be the least queenly queen in all the realms.

Proper queens don’t sneak out at night to drink with their guards—especially guards sworn to another queen. But when her closest friend, Queen Beau, vanishes after confessing a dangerous secret, Merrin trades her title for a cloak and crosses forbidden borders with three knights at her side.

One of them is Windley: charming, infuriating, impossible to ignore—and hiding magic that makes wanting him feel like a risk.

As Merrin ventures through cursed woods, ancient lore, and a realm where queens are not supposed to disappear, she becomes bound to shadowy echoes only she can command. To save Beau and protect her crown, Merrin will have to trust the one guard who could change everything.

A Crown of Echoes is the first book in The Crown Saga, a New Adult romantasy series filled with queen-and-knight tension, found family, forbidden magic, court intrigue, meddling goddesses, and a slow-burn romance with bite.
