A Kingdom of Ivy and Steel - book 5 in the series Circle of Sun and Soil:
A kingdom bound by thorns. A throne forged in steel. A destiny that cannot be denied.The balance of the world is breaking.
In a dark fantasy kingdom where ancient magic, iron armies, and living forests collide, a storm is rising. Nature and steel are locked in a silent war-one that will decide the fate of an empire. Beneath tangled roots, forgotten power awakens. Across the land, whispers of prophecy grow louder. And at the center of it all stands a queen destined either to save her realm... or destroy it.
A Kingdom of Ivy and Steel (Book 5) is a gripping dark epic fantasy adventure filled with dangerous magic, fierce battles, powerful destiny, and a strong female ruler fighting to hold a kingdom together as chaos spreads.
The Queen of Thorns has survived betrayal, war, and shadow. But ruling demands more than survival.
As alliances fracture and enemies close in, ancient forces awaken, enchanted forests rise, and steel legions march toward a final reckoning. The land itself is changing. Creatures long buried beneath myth begin to stir. Secrets hidden in blood, crown, and prophecy surface at last.
Every choice demands sacrifice.
Every victory comes with a cost.
And power... always leaves scars.
To save her people, the queen must embrace both sides of her nature-the fury of the wild and the strength of steel. But destiny is not a path... it is a storm. And some rulers must become legends before they become monsters.
Expect dark fantasy world-building, magical kingdom intrigue, epic battles, emotional depth, and shocking twists that will keep you turning pages deep into the night.
