The Bone Crown
In the kingdom of Veyrath, rulers are chosen not by birth but by winning the Trial of the Crown, where the victor is crowned with a relic made from dragon bones
In the kingdom of Veyrath, rulers are chosen not by birth but by winning the Trial of the Crown, where the victor is crowned with a relic made from dragon bones. The relic, called the Bone Crown, is said to grant power, but it also harbors a will of its own.
A humble shepherd named Kaelen Durov accidentally survives the trial and becomes king. At first, he is mocked as an unworthy ruler, but soon the crown begins whispering to him—guiding, tempting, and manipulating.
Kaelen must navigate scheming nobles, rebellious lords, and the growing influence of the crown itself, which seems determined to reshape the world. The struggle becomes not just for a kingdom, but for Kaelen’s soul, as he fights to rule without losing himself to the crown’s ancient hunger.
