Whispers beneath the Citadel (The Ashen Throne Series Book 1)
About
Beneath the kingdom, the truth still survives.
For four centuries, the Ashen Crown ruled the realm from the black stone Citadel towering above Greywater Harbour.
Its authority seemed eternal.
Its history unquestioned.
Its banners feared across every province.
Until hidden archives are discovered beneath the fortress foundations.
Archivist murders.
Burned records.
Ancient bloodlines erased from history.
As unrest spreads through the winter capital, royal advisor Caelan Varrow is drawn into a dangerous conspiracy buried beneath the kingdom itself — one that threatens not only the ruling dynasty, but the legal foundation of the entire realm.
Because the Crown may never have been lawful.
Now old banners rise across the snowbound provinces while rival houses gather beneath forgotten laws older than kings.
And somewhere beneath the Citadel, the last surviving truth of the realm waits in darkness.
