Runaway Crown by Maya Nicole

Hide or die. That’s been the only rule I’ve lived by since the night my world went dark.

For centuries, I’ve been surviving on the fringes of Inferna while the demon who took my family from me sat on the throne. I learned to make myself small and forgettable.
But now Lilith is dead, my brother has abandoned the crown, and I’m the one left to pick up the pieces.
There’s just one problem: I’m a former princess with no power who has a deadly secret.
When an entire village vanishes and monsters start evolving, staying invisible is no longer an option. Neither is ignoring the five men who’ve decided my survival is their business.

Nico, my squirrel shifter best friend who would rip out a thousand throats to keep me safe but keeps his heart under lock and key.
Val, the ruthless vampire who was once my betrothed and still thinks he owns my heart.
Amari, a gargoyle-cursed panther shifter who treats me like a nuisance… until he’s touching me.
Kage, an anxious house mage who stealthily protects as passionately as he cleans.
And Raphael, an infuriating archangel who knows the light inside me was never meant to exist.

The darkness in Inferna is growing and something ancient is waking up inside me.

I’ve spent my whole life being underestimated. Maybe it’s time to show them what happens when lightning strikes twice.

Runaway Crown is a steamy reverse harem romance with five men and no choosing. It was originally published as Infuse (Infernal Council) and has been revamped. Content warnings can be found in the front of the book.
