    Summary

    Her mother was a Queen, and if she could no longer wear her crown, Lunafreya would do it for her. She lifted her head, thinking of the weight of the bloody crown of sylleblossoms and ice.

    One who wears a crown does not bend their neck, lest the weight snap it.

    Lunafreya Nox Fleuret, Princess of Tenebrae, child of the Moon and Ice, daughter of the Oracle, promised herself in that moment as she forced her chin up in defiance as another slap shattered her cheekbone that she would never bend her neck.

    Not to General Glauca. Not to the Empire. Not even to the Gods themselves.

    At the tender age of fourteen, Lunafreya knows that fate is a cruel and capricious lover.

    A coup. A field of death. A frozen crown of sylleblossoms and blood. A refusal to bend her neck.

    May Gods and Man tremble before her.

    Long live the Queen.
