The Shattered Crown
(2026)(The fifth book in the Midlife Fairy Tale series)
A novel by Kristen Painter
With secrets unearthed and the delicate balance between kingdoms on the brink, Queen Sparrow Meadowcroft faces the greatest challenge of her reign. But the cost of peace may be higher than anyone imagined.
As shadows gather, Ro must decide what kind of queen she is willing to be, and what she’s prepared to sacrifice to protect the realm she’s come to love. Because some battles aren’t won with power alone, and some crowns can only be held by those brave enough to risk everything.
Across the sea, an old enemy has fallen silent, but silence can be far more unsettling than open war. In Malveaux, power has shifted, and a new ruler guides a wounded kingdom still haunted by its past. Trust is scarce. Alliances are fragile. And the line between rise and ruin has never been thinner.
In the epic conclusion to the MidLife Fairy Tales series, the fate of two kingdoms will be decided. Not just by strength or strategy, but by who is willing to step forward when the crown itself begins to crack.
The final reckoning has arrived.
