The war of the seven thrones

Seven crowns fall from Heaven, and the alliance beneath the world begins to break.

Each crown finds the ruler connected to one of the seven mythical thrones. King Ordan, Queen Vaeraxis, Nerissa, Solara, Lady Sorelle, Queen Elowyn, and Hades are dragged back to their kingdoms as ancient grievances return with supernatural force. Werewolves remember vampire hunts. Vampires remember werewolf raids. Witches remember fae betrayals. Merfolk and griffins relive old wars. The dead remember every kingdom that sent souls into Hades.

The pain is real but Heaven has erased every apology, treaty, and sacrifice that once allowed those enemies to stand together. A prophecy declares that only one sovereignty may survive. To end the war, Zephira must claim all seven crowns and become the absolute ruler of every hidden kingdom. She refuses.

As borders close and former allies become enemies, Zephira, Daniel, Vharok, Gorran, and the defenders of Evanus must enter each throne and remove the celestial corruption without destroying the rulers bound to it. But the conflict is only part of a greater design. Beyond the Sixth Seal waits the Last Silence, an ancient force created from everything Heaven rejected. It offers creation a terrible bargain: one willing death in exchange for the survival of every world. The life it demands is Zephira's. With Heaven preparing for war and the Seventh Seal beginning to open, Zephira must unite seven rulers without ruling them, defend a world that believes her sacrifice will save it, and prove that a choice made beneath suffering is no choice at all.

War of the Seven Thrones, Book Seven of The City Beneath, is an epic dark-fantasy story about power, inherited hatred, sacrifice, identity, and the courage to choose life when the entire world demands your death.
