The Usurper's Song

Exiled from Wraithmark, Aurelia survives by singing ballads for the king who took her crown. When tremors begin to shake the realm and a summons draws her back to Oakhallow, she finds Galen fading behind the palace veils—and the midnight rites are close at hand. She once swore to stand beside him. Now the court calls him a traitor, the kingdom is on the brink, and Aurelia must decide what her songs can change before the final bell tolls.
