A Crown of Secrets and Lies

The Halfling Princess Chronicles: Book 1

Published Copy

Blurb

Too human to be fae. Too powerful to be human. And haunted by the weapon sent to destroy her.

Astreilles never wanted the crown. As a halfling princess, she’s spent her life on the edge of power—visible, but never accepted. But when the king dies and civil war erupts, she’s forced to lead the royal army into a battle she knows they can’t win.

Hunted by rebels and haunted by a magic she’s never dared to touch, Astreilles must choose: die for a kingdom that’s always feared her… or escape to a world that might break her in different ways.

But as darkness rises and loyalties fracture, one truth becomes clear:

The greatest threat to her future may not be the war she’s in, but the weapon sent to end her.
