She died managing a wedding. She woke managing the only neutral house left between three crowns.
Ione Venn's last memory is a burning Chicago hotel and one guest still unaccounted for. Seconds later, she wakes behind the bar of a ruined magical inn as a knife-carrying route consultant, a wolf-eared sky marshal, and a furious fairy courier arrive through three impossible doors.
The Uncrowned Hearth can create rooms, routes, and binding House Rules-but every rule binds Ione before it binds anyone else. When thirteen thousand displaced people flood the border and Orravel, an ancient Civil Peace Engine, moves to convert emergency authority into permanent control, Ione must build a commons strong enough to survive without becoming another crown.
At her side are Jex Marroway, a razor-tongued survivor with too many keys and even more stolen spoons; Vauren Kest, a disciplined sky marshal protecting a wounded dragon; and Lysenne Virelan, a brilliant fairy strategist who reopens the second chance Ione never expected to receive.
To keep the Hearth free, they must make power shareable, love amendable, and refuge possible without mistaking protection for possession.
The Uncrowned Hearth begins an adult queer epic-fantasy trilogy filled with political intrigue, magical logistics, dragons, fairies, found family, low-spice slow-burn romance, dry humor, and cozy warmth under world-changing pressure.
