Queen Of Shards

The kingdom of Rosa is slowly decaying to nothing due to the blight—a disease caused by their own king, covering the kingdom in darkness. The only way to save Rosa from total extinction is if someone with true royal blood ascends the throne. The only problem? The last remaining true royals were killed off ten years ago. Or were they?

Bella knows she alone can save her kingdom and restore it to what it once was, though she sees herself as unfit to be a ruler. For the past ten years, Bella has survived on nothing but stealing and staying hidden in the shadows.

When rumors that the lost princess might still be alive start to emerge, she's hired to find the Blood Heart—an ancient crystal that was used to find the next heir and is said to hold unimaginable power—in exchange for a way out of Rosa. The journey to find the crystal is treacherous—deadly, some would say—and cannot be done alone, so she finds herself needing the help of Grayson Thorne, a young man full of secrets. As their journey brings them closer together, the harder it becomes to fight their feelings for each other.

Everyone has their secrets, hers just might get her killed. But secrets are a tough thing to hide. If Bella’s secrets won't get her killed, then Grayson’s certainly will.
