Special Edition Hardcover

🖤 This is a limited preorder release. This special edition will only be available during the preorder window.

Created in collaboration with Gretchen Powell Fox and Scarlett Press, this premium collector hardcover edition of Smoke and Scar, the first book in the Shattered Crown series, has been exclusively designed by Shadowfern Editions.

ABOUT THE STORY

For centuries, humans and the magical races of Arcanis have been bitter enemies.

Their only hope for peace lies in the Arcane Crucible, a legendary series of deadly trials held every twenty-five years.

Elyria Lightbreaker, a grieving fae war hero, enters to stop someone she loves from meeting the same fate as the man she lost.

Cedric Thorne, a human knight seeking vengeance, must survive the trials beside the very fae warrior he blames for his parents’ deaths.

An epic fantasy romance featuring deadly trials, ancient magic, and a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance.
