This world destroyed her. Now she will destroy it.

Scarlet Thorne was prepared to fulfill the prophecy she was thrust into. Until becoming the
Crimson Wraith cost her everything.

Now the world that forged her may be the first thing she burns.

Rhodes Wylder and Fallon Fitzroy have been cast into the Forgotten Realm, a place where the
past refuses to stay buried. A realm filled with ancient truths, crumbling foundations, and
Delaney Salvitto waiting for their arrival.

While they fight to survive a realm no one was meant to escape, Scarlet faces a different kind of
war.

The Broken Crown’s Curse is coming for the Mareki.
Princess Kiye failed to stop it.
And Scarlet may just let it wipe out the world completely.

But as the Mareki begins to reveal the truth behind the Broken Crown's Curse, Scarlet is faced
with a choice no prophecy prepared her for. Saving the people she loves may require becoming
the very thing she was warned against. And if Scarlet embraces the full corruption of the
Mareki…

There may be nothing left of the realms to save.

The prophecy ends here.
