In the wake of her transformation, Althea is no longer merely queen.
She is prophecy.
Marked by an ancient force older than Verdantis itself, she now carries a child whispered to be either salvation or ruin. The forests that once regenerated without fail begin to decay. Creatures of sky and sea bow to her womb before it has drawn its first breath. Kingdoms that once swore unity now question whether she has become something sacred-or something cursed.
As political alliances strain and rival courts circle closer, Althea must navigate desire, betrayal, and the unbearable weight of motherhood in a world that would weaponize her child.
Beside her stands a man willing to burn kingdoms to protect her, yet even devotion cannot silence the ancient presence awakening beneath the earth.
The Crossing continues in this epic romantasy filled with forbidden longing, dragon-like guardians, slow-burn intensity, political intrigue, and a heroine whose power threatens to unmake the world.
For readers who love:
High-stakes epic fantasy with romance
Powerful, morally complex heroines
Fated bonds and protective lovers
Political tension and court intrigue
Lyrical, cinematic worldbuilding

Some birth a reckoning.
