Twins of the Broken Crown

Princess Seraphine, the last surviving heir of Eryndale, is forced into marriage with the conqueror who destroyed her kingdom: King Aldric of Blackthorn. Though young, Aldric builds his reputation on fear: he's ruthless, cold, and devoid of mercy. Seraphine becomes his silent trophy queen, trapped in a castle built on the ashes of her past.
Soon, Seraphine discovers she is carrying Aldric's child. Twins. Terrified that the king will mold them into weapons of conquest, erasing the last remnants of Erindeal, she confides only in her trusted healer, Elowen. Together, they devise a desperate plan: when the time comes, Seraphine will secretly give birth and take the babies away before Aldric learns of their existence.
