The Glass Crown of Thorns

The Glass Crown of Thorns What to expect: In a world where the sky is hidden behind layers of soot and the soul is as fragile as blown glass, survival isn't a right—it's a masterpiece of pain. Raikan is a survivor of the Lower District, a place where the sun never reaches and the air tastes of rust. He lives by one rule: never look an Inquisitor in the eye. But when he finds Lira, a girl with eyes like shattered diamonds and a secret that could burn the city to the ground, his world of shadows begins to crack. Pursued by the cold, mechanical justice of the Glass Tower, they must navigate a labyrinth of betrayal and ancient clockwork magic. In a city that demands everything, what are they willing to sacrifice to keep their humanity? The glass is sharp. The thorns are waiting. Welcome to the Lower District.
