Tears for a Broken Sky by Sarah Bowen

Elira has escaped her cage—but freedom has come at a heavy cost.

After the brutal fallout in Varrowmere, she finds refuge in the long-lost kingdom of Virell—a place woven with memory, magic, and ghosts she’s not ready to face. Grief clings to her like a shadow, and the past refuses to stay buried.
But the realm of Virell is no safe haven. Political alliances demand obedience. Power demands sacrifice. And Elira soon finds herself trapped in another cage—this time, bound by duty and expectation.

Her magic is awakening. The kingdom is watching. And whispers rise: the true heir has returned.

She never asked for a crown.
She only wanted to survive.
But if war is coming, Elira won’t run.
With her Shades at her side, she will burn the sky before she lets anyone take what’s hers again.

This is a why-choose novel. The FMC will not have to pick between multiple love interests. FMMMM
