About this ebook
Lyrien Vaelcrest—musician, exile, once-prince of a realm humans don’t even know exists—has spent ten years hiding in plain sight. Haunted by the hum of a resonance field only he can hear, he survives through music, whiskey, and isolation.
But now, something is shifting beneath the city streets. The hum is unraveling. Time is distorting. And Elysia—the realm he was banished from—is bleeding through the cracks.
When a team of strangers arrives with orders and old wounds in tow, Lyrien must confront the past he buried and the power he swore never to use again. Because the resonance isn’t just broken.
It’s waking up.
For fans of Crescent City, The Sandman, and The Raven Cycle—Crown of Defiance is an emotional, high-stakes urban fantasy with a celestial edge and a hero who’s already lost everything.
