Quinn survived the trials. She claimed her power. Now the world expects her to use it—on their terms.
Waking in a fortress that bears her name, Quinn should feel safe. Instead, she finds herself standing at the center of a fragile alliance built on secrets, fear, and expectations she never agreed to carry. Every choice she makes ripples outward—through politics, magic, and the men bound to her fate.
Xan is done hiding what he is. Ezra is balancing devotion with duty. Cayden is unraveling beneath truths he can’t unsee. Rowan watches it all, steady and silent, knowing something is coming.
As Quinn begins reshaping a broken system—freeing women, testing the limits of her magic, and redefining power itself—new threats surface. Ones that don’t want her dead.
They want her controlled.
Because a woman who chooses for herself is dangerous. And a woman with magic, loyalty, and love behind her?
She’s a revolution.
Time & Truth is the third book in a slow-burn reverse harem romantasy with MM, political intrigue, morally gray choices, and a heroine who refuses to be owned—by magic, men, or fate. See author website for triggers.
