A kingdom in mourning. A crown burdened by grief. And the guard who never truly left her behind. After loss shatters the palace walls, a scholar princess is pulled from the quiet life she once knew and thrust toward a throne she never wanted. But grief is not the only thing waiting for her. Old wounds linger. Secrets breathe beneath stone halls. And Riven—the man tied to both her past and her survival—stands beside her once more. As sorrow settles over the kingdom and duty tightens around her throat, she must decide who she is beneath the crown… before grief rules them all. Reign of Sorrow is a haunting fantasy romance about loss, memory, quiet strength, and the kind of love that survives ruin.
