The War of Gears and Flames III

The War of Gears and Flames III: Shadows of the Crown The crown is cracked. Shadows gather. Solarys burns. Queen Selene has risen from the ashes, but victory comes at a price. Betrayal festers within her council, whispers of Aldric's shadow threaten her rule, and the Magians return with horrors more devastating than ever-stormforged ballistae, shadow-cloaked assassins, serpent machines, and titanic hammers forged to break gods. As allies fall and her people begin to doubt, Selene must fight not only for her throne, but for the very soul of Solarys. Every battle demands sacrifice. Every victory takes blood. And when the storm of crowns finally breaks, the queen must decide whether fire can truly banish shadow-or whether it will consume her instead. Shadows of the Crown is the explosive third book in The War of Gears and Flames saga-an epic tale of dark fantasy, steampunk warfare, and a queen who refuses to kneel. Perfect for fans of epic battles, ruthless betrayal, and heroines forged in fire.
