He was just a village boy chasing goats. Then the fox spoke, and the world demanded a hero.
Kaelen Thornheart never asked to be the last of the Veil-Knights. He never asked to carry his grandfather's ancient sword or guard a crumbling seal that holds back cosmic darkness. But when a fox-spirit named Vaelara-immortal, wily, and bound to an oath older than memory-tells him the Banished are breaking free, Kaelen must leave his quiet village and walk a road no mortal has survived in centuries.
The only way to seal the prison forever lies in the Shattered Crown, a relic broken into five fragments and scattered across the world. To find them, Kaelen must cross a desert of living glass, climb the storm-wracked Sky-Shatter Peaks, descend into a sunken cathedral where a grieving queen keeps her eternal vigil, and finally enter the twilight prison of the Banished themselves-where his deepest fears will wear his own face.
But he won't walk alone. An unlikely fellowship gathers around him: a desert breeder with her father's forbidden journal, a daring guide who knows the glass sea's secrets, a clan chieftain bound by an ancient debt, and a smuggler-scholar who believes the old legends are true. Together, they race to reforge the Crown and sing the Song that will bind the darkness forever-if Kaelen can learn that courage is not the absence of fear, but the choice to continue despite it.
The Shadow of the Forgotten Throne is a lyrical standalone epic fantasy of ancient magic, found family, and the quiet heroes who heal what was broken long ago. Perfect for readers who love majestic animal companions, reluctant heroes, and sweeping quests that linger in the heart long after the final page.
A standalone epic fantasy. A fox-guardian who steals every scene. A journey through deserts, mountains, forests, oceans, and the silence before creation itself. Begin the adventure today.
