The Moon-Cursed Crown
(2026)(The first book in the Shattered Gods Duology series)
A novel by C A Varian
The gods never choose gently.
When the long-lost Moon-Crown awakens, it doesn’t choose a warrior or a queen—it chooses Liora, a healer’s apprentice who never wanted power. The crown promises salvation for her dying kingdom, but every time she wields it, a fragment of a dead god claws deeper into her soul.
Now hunted by an empire desperate to claim the artifact, Liora must turn to a dangerous stranger with secrets of his own. Dark, unpredictable, and impossible to ignore, he knows more about the crown’s curse than anyone alive… and swears he’ll end her life if she lets it consume her.
But the crown whispers of fire and ruin. Every battle fought—and every forbidden touch—pulls her closer to a fate she cannot escape, and a desire she cannot deny.
In a world where mercy is weakness and power demands sacrifice, Liora must decide whether to burn for the gods… or destroy them herself.
Perfect for readers of Fourth Wing and From Blood and Ash, The Moon-Cursed Crown launches a spellbinding romantasy duology of forbidden magic, enemies-to-lovers passion, and a heroine caught between her heart and her soul.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
