The Ashen Crown Blood is proof. Ash is crown. Hunger never ends. When the relic Crown rises on a rival's brow, and the Sword begins to dream through her scar, Elira is dragged into a cycle of kingship written in fire. Kaelen swears to defy it, but every drop of her blood binds him closer to hollow kingship. As the Company fractures, rebels crown Elira their queen, and vampires kneel to a new king, the question burns: will she break the cycle - or become its next queen of ash beside the Hollow Prince? The Hollow Prince - Part II
