The Throne's Hunger: Bloodlines Book Five

When a monarch goes silent, the Palace doesn't just lose a voice-it risks creating a vacancy. And in Buckingham, vacancy isn't a legal problem. It's an invitation. After a high-profile royal wedding leaves blood in the seams of the Crown, a new crisis detonates behind closed doors: an abdication rupture. Parliament demands stability. The Palace manufactures calm. And beneath the marble, the undercroft listens-waiting for the exact moment the throne is spoken as unheld. Amelia Prescott was once hired to write the story. Now she's the only one who can read the oldest documents, decode the ritual architecture, and stop public procedure from becoming a private trigger. As "medical care" becomes a corridor for coercion and "continuity" becomes a weapon, Amelia learns the darkest truth of all: the Crown may be a person in public, but beneath the Palace it has always been a vessel. In THE THRONE'S HUNGER (BLOODLINES: BOOK FIVE), power doesn't transfer cleanly. It slips. It fractures. It leaves a space. And something ancient is ready to claim it.
