Claimed by the Cursed Kingdom

On her eighteenth birthday, Zara finally awakens the power that has been sealed inside her since childhood. For fifteen years, she has lived as a castless servant in House Greth—mocked, controlled, and humiliated by Lord Rowan, the man fate itself chose for her. But when their sacred bond appears, Rowan rejects her in front of the gods and throws her away like she was never worth loving. Then Lord Theron Blackwell arrives. Cold, powerful, and feared by every house in the realm, Theron sees what everyone else refuses to see: Zara is not a servant. She is the missing heir of a destroyed bloodline, the daughter of House Solenne, and the bearer of a divine gift powerful enough to expose every lie in the kingdom. Now Rowan wants her back. Isolde wants her ruined. And the council wants proof. But Zara is done begging for a place in someone else’s world. The rejected girl is about to become the woman every house fears.
