The Amethyst Kingdom

The fifth and final novel in the Five Crowns of Okrith series.

Can Carys have it all? Can she balance the competition of the trials, to win the Eastern Court crown, and the chance at love … with her hated nemesis.

Carys Hilgaard has grown tremendously through her years; no longer is she the vapid, prejudicial fae who drowned herself in wine. At least, she wants to believe that’s true.

So, when the time comes for the Eastern Court trials to commence, her mind is set on one objective: win the crown and become the people’s queen.

But the gods have different plans. Lord Ersan Almah, her ex-boyfriend and fated mate, has entered the competition, vying for the kingdom himself—and hoping it’s enough to cure his heart after losing Carys.

When incandescent hearts rekindle for a second chance at destined love, Carys must learn to let her lingering past go in order to protect her kingdom, the people she cares for, and fight for hope … if not, everything could collapse into ashes.

The crown is calling Carys’ name, but can her head bear the weight when passion sets her heart racing?
