Crown of Vengeance (The Crown Wars Saga Book 2)

In the wake of a shattered empire, vengeance is no longer a whisper---it's a roar. Maximus has reclaimed his throne in a storm of blood and fire, but his victory is far from complete. Serita, once entombed in living stone, has escaped his grasp, and whispers of rebellion ripple across the stars. Allies and enemies shift like shadows, each with their own designs, while the galaxy braces for the inevitable reckoning. From the golden wings of the Moralak warriors to the forbidden depths of the Shadow Realm, power is hunted, betrayed, and bought in the currency of blood. Maximus's enemies will learn that mercy is extinct---and his vengeance will burn worlds to ash. In a war where loyalty is a weapon and survival is a lie, the question is no longer who will win... but who will be left to rule the ruins.
