The Thorne Inheritance Publisher's Summary

Book One of The Sovereign's Shadow Saga.

The Crown controls the myth. Until it chooses the wrong heir.

When Alastair Thorne survives the Channel Tunnel disaster that kills his parents, he is taken—not rescued—by the British Crown.

Hidden inside the Aetherium Institute, Britain's elite heirs are trained to manage something the public was never meant to know:

Arthur was real. The power never died. And it must stay controlled.

But when Alastair's bloodline awakens an ancient fracture in the system, he becomes both asset and threat. Every lesson is surveillance. Every friendship is political. Every mistake could destabilise the country itself.

His only ally is Chloe Evans—brilliant, disciplined, and ordered to stop him if he loses control. Their connection is forbidden. And it may be the one variable the Crown cannot predict.

As the truth begins leaking beyond the Institute's walls, the myth that underpins modern Britain starts to crack.

To survive, Alastair must decide: Preserve the system. Or expose it.

Dark academia meets political fantasy in this sharp, fast-paced reimagining of Arthurian legend.

Continue the story in the epic second installment of The Sovereign's Shadow Saga.

Perfect for listeners of Ninth House, Legendborn, The Atlas Six, and The Rook.
