Between Crowns and Cages
In a world where blood determines destiny, Mare Barrow finds herself trapped in the most gilded of prisons. Thirty-one days have passed since her capture by Maven Calore, the boy-king whose mind was twisted by his mother's psychic manipulation. Each day marked with a fork scratched into her baseboard, each hour suffocating under the weight of Silent Stone manacles that suppress her electrical abilities. The lightning girl, once a beacon of revolution, now wears a thorned collar around her neck while her Arven guards-nicknamed Kitten, Egg, Trio, and Clover-maintain their silent vigil. Maven's torture is psychological rather than physical: isolation designed to make her rot, fade, and be forgotten by the revolution she once led. What makes imprisonment truly unbearable isn't the pain-it's watching yourself disappear.
