Shattered Crown, Abyssal Throne

Helena's newborn son is thrown into a deep-sea grinder during a sacrifice ceremony, and she dies cursing the royals responsible. She wakes on the day of her royal engagement, back when Zael exposed her white-scale curse and stripped her of everything. Exiled to the mud and forced to marry a crippled outcast, she refuses to weep this time. In the black market she finds a forgotten, caged creature that carries the last drop of the Kraken's bloodline, and her plans for revenge begin to take shape.
