Step into Crestfall
Witches are hunted, feared, and executed. Princess Lyla has spent her entire life hiding the truth. She is one of them.
Raised in secrecy as the sole heir to the throne within the castle walls, Lyla walks a fragile line between two worlds. To the people, she is a royal heir, poised and perfect. But in the shadows, her magic simmers. It’s growing stronger, more dangerous, and forbidden with every passing day. As the ruthless Legion returns from yet another expedition against witches, unease settles over the kingdom. Whispers of a new and dangerous evil lurking along the border surface.
When Lyla begins to fall in love with her lifelong friend, a rising star within the Legion trained to destroy her kind, her growing frustration with the kingdom’s cruel traditions and the Legion’s blind obedience threatens to consume her. Betrayal cuts deeper than any blade and devastating loss threatens to break her. Torn between duty and identity, Lyla must decide whether to remain silent in the name of survival… or rise and embrace the power she was born to wield.
Her choice could shatter everything she knows, or it could save it.
