Echoes Among Thirteen ShadowsBook One of the Crownshard ChroniclesBy Kailan PitreSome betrayals bleed beyond the grave.In a realm ruled by forgotten pacts and haunted bloodlines, a veiled queen rises.Aurelia Winterborn is bound by dreams she doesn't understand, to a court that hides more than it reveals. Shadowed riders, flame-born dragons, veined giants, and traitorous kings stir around her. And somewhere beneath the obsidian halls the Thirteenth Vein awakens.As magic fractures and crowns crack, one truth pulses louder than prophecy:Not all who bleed are broken. Not all thrones were meant to hold.
