Dragged the king of the city into a black hole and left me standing in the wreckage of his empire. They expected panic. Collapse. A grieving and desperate woman.
Instead, I sat in his chair.
I froze accounts. I recruited more men. I declared war.
The Ghost Ledger doesnāt answer to bloodlines or brute strength.
It answers to numbers. And I am the only one who speaks its language. Everyone who once doubted me gets richer under my command. Every enemy who touches our money disappears.
They think Iām protecting his throne.
They donāt understand.
Halloway wants to break him. The Council wants to replace him. But Iām tracing every shell company, every covert transfer, every hidden bunker. Iām not waiting to be rescued.
When Tristan comes back, he wonāt find a frightened accountant.
Heāll find a woman who learned how to rule in his absence.
And when the king returns to his kingdom of smoke and bloodā¦
Heāll have to decide whether to accept that I donāt kneel anymore, and rule beside meā¦
Or to kill me once and for all.
TRISTAN
Sensory deprivation. Psychological warfare. Lies about Rosalieās death.
They thought that would break me.
They underestimated obsession.
I donāt survive because Iām strong. I survive because I refuse to lose whatās mine. And Rosalie Cross is not a pawn, not collateral, not a bargaining chip anymore.
She is the most dangerous decision I ever made though; Iāll give her that.
While they torture me, she is outside wearing my power. I can feel it. The shifts in the market. People falling back into line.
She didnāt run.
She ruled.
When I finally tear my way out of this cage, I wonāt be reclaiming a broken empire. Iāll be stepping into a battlefield sheās already set on fire.
They wanted to expose my weakness.
Instead, they created a monster with my last name etched into her bones.
The city will learn something very quicklyā
A king alone is dangerous.
A king and queen bound by obsession?
Unstoppable.
This is the third book in the A Throne So Feared Series. Reading order: A King So Cruel, A King So Dark, A King So Brutal.
