Crown of Smoke and Bone – Synopsis

Magic is real. Hidden. Dangerous.
And Aradia Vale has spent her life running from it.

Born from the ashes of a murdered witch-queen, Aradia hides in plain sight, unaware that her blood carries the key to a forgotten prophecy — the return of the Crown of Smoke and Bone, a power that once tore the realms apart.

Everything changes when she crosses paths with Valen Thorne, the immortal Prince of the Bloodborn, exiled for defying his dark kingdom. Valen is everything she should fear — cold, powerful, and intoxicatingly beautiful. Yet when he saves her from death, something ancient stirs inside her… a memory, a curse, a bond that feels older than time.

Their connection is instant, magnetic — a pulse of fate and forbidden desire. But their love is no fairytale. It’s a war between destiny and defiance.

Valen is bound to protect the witch who once killed him.
Aradia is fated to love the vampire who might end her.

As her powers awaken, so do the enemies hunting them both — rival vampires, vengeful witches, and gods who remember the sins of the past. Betrayal bleeds through every shadow. Secrets whisper in every kiss.

When Aradia learns the truth — that she and Valen are the reincarnations of the lovers who cursed the world — she must choose: save the man she loves, or save the world that fears her.

The Crown of Smoke and Bone hungers for a soul to claim.
And this time, it demands hers.
