Blood Inheritance

A false king sits on Valdren's throne, and his paranoid purges are turning the court into a graveyard. Margit, a fifty-three-year-old royal archivist, knows the truth—the sacred blade that crowned Prince Roderic can be fooled, and she has proof buried in forbidden records. But the kingdom's only legitimate heir refuses to claim the crown, forcing Margit toward a desperate gamble that will demand she sacrifice her name, her home, and every certainty she has left.
