Shattered Crown

Princess Pheonixia barely escapes the fire that consumes her kingdom, only to stumble upon a group of gnomes—including the resourceful Grit—who lead her to the hidden settlement of Stonehearth. There, she offers her last surviving carriage as a gift, earning their trust. But peace is short-lived. A hooded figure hands her a mysterious scroll, revealing that a dark mage is hunting phoenix down—the very fabric of her enchanted dress. Her worst fears are confirmed when she discovers the footprints of a fear demon. Armed with her crux, she prepares for battle, but the true danger is only beginning. With nowhere else to turn, she seeks refuge in the kingdom of Princess Ruby, only to be intercepted by demonic servants. Forced to take a treacherous shortcut through the woods, they arrive at midnight—just as a prophetic dream warns Pheonixia of a terrifying future: gnome kingdoms in ruin, their people twisted into monstrous forms. As demons begin terrorizing the city, the princesses are rushed to safety—but Pheonixia knows the truth: if they don’t act soon, no kingdom will be safe.
