Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A crown won in blood. A marriage forged in fear. A dynasty born from civil war.This is the story of power seized through violence, of a throne claimed when the land was still soaked in loss. A kingdom fractured by years of conflict, where loyalty was dangerous and survival was never certain.The crown did not come easily. It was taken at a terrible cost, paid in lives, betrayals, and the wreckage of old allegiances. Victory ended one war, but it did not bring peace. The past lingered, restless and threatening, waiting for the chance to rise again.To hold what had been won, a marriage was demanded-not by love, but by necessity. Two sides bound together by fear rather than trust. A union meant to silence enemies, calm a broken nation, and force an end to hatred that had burned for generations. Yet beneath the vows lay suspicion, memory, and the knowledge that unity could shatter as easily as it was declared.From bloodshed and fear emerged something enduring. A ruling house shaped not by romance or destiny, but by calculated risk, uneasy compromise, and the relentless will to survive.This is the story of how a dynasty is born when peace is fragile, power is contested, and the past refuses to stay buried.
