Aidan Pierce was the heir to the Pierce dynasty and grew up under the weight of authority and prestige. One of the most strong business empires in the city. But his life deteriorated when his cunning and cruel uncle, Victor Pierce, hatched a coup, painting Aidan as a charlatan and sloppy. Deprived of his legacy, banished overnight, Aidan was sent into the shadows, bearing the weight of treachery and the death of everyone he loved. Aidan is left with a difficult choice when a dark shadow from his past appears with evidence aimed to permanently destroy Victor once and for once. Believing this new buddy could mean giving up all he has rebuilt, but waiting could cost him his chance at success. Discovering a dreadful truth—that Victor pretended Aidan's mother died in order to seize control—and that she has been alive, imprisoned all these years strains Aidan's will even more. This revelation shakes Aidan to his core and also fuels his will with a fresh, very personal intensity. The narrative culminates when Aidan schemes a dramatic public exposure of Victor's network of crime, revealing the involvement of his uncle in armaments trafficking and money laundering. The plan is audacious and full of risks; it culminates in a dramatic press conference that might literally save the city. As success seems almost within reach, Victor acts desperately last-minute. His attempt to leave sets the stage for a high-stakes confrontation determining the Pierce legacy inheritability. Topics of treachery, atonement, and the cost of power entwine over Reclaimed Crown to emphasize the difficult balance Aidan must find between justice and retribution. Every chapter is suspenseful, taking readers farther into a world in which loyalty is a frail idea and trust can be the most deadly weapon of all. Standing on the balcony of the Pierce Corp tower, Aidan understands this is only the beginning as he sees the city that now whispers his name in both amazement and caution. The struggle to keep the crown—against both apparent and invisible enemies—has just begun, even if it may be snatched again.

In the Bible, they called the Raven unclean and associated it with death. It was one of the 5 animals allowed to be killed in Islam, and these negative traits overshadowed the Raven's intelligence and problem-solving abilities. There was always a distance between it and people, it was the being that carried the divine light and brought the life force as it played a key role in the creation stories of the universe. He was the keeper of secrets, and he was a cheater, but that couldn't be seen as negative, because cheaters were the characters who survived, who were witty, the most charming, and creative. Raven, who sees and knows everything. Raven the symbol of the sun. Raven the cheater is gracious but harmful. * This is not a fairy tale. This is the life inside an author's book. What if the author falls into a world she has never created before?

TITLE and COVER(need some help with this one) may be subject to change. I did not draw or create the cover by hand. All the credit goes to the artist.
