The Fractured Lights #1
The Sol Crown
Trust is dangerous. Power is stolen. And Elina Banks is deadly.
Hidden behind the sun-drenched, golden walls of Aladria, Elina Banks is more than a skilled fighter. She’s a secret weapon. Masked and lethal, she’s spent four years fighting in the shadows against enemy soldiers and Malus—reanimated corpses fuelled by dark magic—without anyone knowing who she truly is.
But when her identity is exposed, her carefully constructed world collapses. Thrust into the Aladrian Army’s brutal training program, Elina must fight to survive among ruthless recruits, unforgiving trials, and the growing threat from Dunmere, the shadowed kingdom across the border.
And then there’s Stone Carlisle. Her brooding, infuriating rival with ocean-eyes and secrets as dark as her own. He’s maddening. Magnetic. And he sees straight through her defences. The deeper Elina is pulled toward him, the more of her he unravels.
But as their connection grows, so does a darker power beyond the castle walls.
King Dagan of Dunmere is gathering an army of the Gifted—those marked by the Gods on their thirteenth birthday with powerful, elemental abilities. The more he collects, the stronger his forces grow. And he won’t stop until he conquers Aladria.
As war brews, bonds will be tested, blood will be spilled, and Elina will have to decide just how far she’s willing to go—to protect her kingdom, her heart, and the secrets that could unravel everything.
A heart-breaking rivals-to-lovers romantasy, perfect for fans of Fourth Wing and The Metal Slinger, The Sol Crown is a tale of magic, loyalty, and a love that could shatter empires.

This book is amazing !!!
It's definitely giving fourth wing without dragons.
I read this book so quickly I didn’t want to put it down. I love when a book grips you from the start like this one did.
The ending I didn't see coming and wow I need book 2 like now.
I absolutely adored the fmc Elina. The secrets she has to keep whilst doing what she does wow I didn’t see expect half of them.
I would say more reluctant allies to lovers than enemies to lovers which I found to be just as good.
I loved the characters in this book Elina’s friends are fab I love Deacon he’s definitely got the comic friend nailed.
Did I see some twists coming yes did I see the ending absolutely not !!!!

A big thank you to Jessica for reaching out to me to read The Sol Crown! This was a great read with a sizzling slow burn that will have you craving more but also keeping you engaged with the world building she created in this book!
You have a War Academy, a great found family, lots of secrets and twist that will have your head turning and a great rivals to lovers or lovers to enemies situation going on!? 👀 yes please!
Elina and Stone’s relationship in this book gave me vibes of Fourth Wing for sure but in its own unique way!
The book starts off learning about Elina entering an elite academy to join the Aladria army to learn more about her people and how to protect them. You meet lots of characters through this journey who you tend to either love or grow suspicious of. I absolutely love Elina’s character tho she is such a badass FMC but also very powerful and dangerous.
This book had one of the best cliffhangers I have read in a long time! I was not expecting that as it will have you craving for more into book 2!

The Sol Crown completely swept me away from page one. The character development and world-building are absolutely stunning — I felt fully immersed in this universe. The slow burn romance pulls you in effortlessly, and just when you think you know where it’s headed… BAM — a plot twist so unexpected I literally said, “Wait, what?!” out loud.
The banter and relationships between the characters hooked me immediately, making every interaction feel alive and meaningful. This was one of those rare reads where I didn’t want it to end. Completely unpredictable, endlessly engaging, and now I’m left desperately wanting more.
Huge thank you to A.F. O’Meara for allowing me the opportunity to ARC read this incredible story — I’m so glad I got to experience it early!

Loved this book! It was a nice easy read with really good pacing and I didn’t see the twist at the end coming! Friendships in this book really touched me and I can’t wait to see what happens next!

4.5 🌟 This was a good time but i have questions like they use carriages and torch light etc but they talk about calories?? The wording has thrown me off… it doesn’t fit with setting… and urgh i really dislike “holding breaths I didnt know I was” lines really! 🤔 a little predictable but enjoyable read
April 28, 2026
Excuse me... what was that ending!
The twist has me sat here thinking... how and why! 😂🤷♀️
Such an fab read! The world building was amazing and the magic system is definitely unique!
The FMC Elina was a complete badass from the word go and the MMC Stone... well...what a guy! 🥵 I absolutely love all the side characters too, with Deacon & Sam being my fave. May genuinely cry if something happens to them!!!
If you love a romantasy book that keeps you hooked from the very beginning, then please read this! Can't wait for book 2!!

Well…… wow! A debut novel done fantastically well!
I was generously given an arc of this book and when I finished it, I had to take about an hour to de-stress 😂
I feel like this book could definitely be compared to the likes of Silver Elite, Fourth Wing and Throne of Glass in my opinion. It had the reluctant joining of the army similar to Silver Elite & FW with tough trials and training and then the badass FMC with some secrets similar to TOG.
I really liked Elina as a character. I enjoyed her quick wit and retorts especially. I loved her friendship with her guy best friends, I don’t think I’ve recently read a book where a male best friend actually stays a best friend and adds a lot to the story. Deacon forever ❤️
I also loved the apocalyptic vibes of the Malus. It felt original and thrilling and I have so many questions as to why they act different with different people 👀
There is 2/3 notably jaw dropping moments/twists in this book that will have you SHOOK! I’m so impressed with how much it did shock me and that I didn’t see it coming! Particularly the way it ends.
A couple of things I would have loved to have seen more of, is Elina as “The Fox”. The story starts off with Elina already in the a start of the army waiting for her trials and training to start, but it would have been cool to see more of the type of person she was before and her in her role as “The Fox” as I feel like we just get told this is what she is with no real explanation as to why. Unless I missed this?
I also feel like I would have loved more information on the Gifted. Again, it’s kind of just accepted that the gifted exist and you don’t really get a feel for their value until certain events later in the book. Why are they gifted? What’s the history of these types of people?
Overall I think this book was superb, particularly as a debut. Thanks alot Jess for sharing this with me and best of luck with it in the future 🥰

Once in a while, a book comes along which makes you suspend your belief in reality as it completely immerses you, body and soul into a different realm. The Sol Crown is this book for me. I devoured this story in 2 days and was left hungry for more.
Elina Banks is by far my favourite FMC - a dangerous assassin, artful and a powerful weapon, protecting Aladria with her life as she becomes a first year recruit in Elite Squad.
Throughout her journey, we meet a series of side characters, each presented so skilfully by O’Meara, that the reader can’t help form a kinship with: Deacon, Elina’s lifelong friend is hilarious; Junie, a fellow new recruit and kick-ass female, and the stoic character of Sam, protective and reliable.
With growing sexual tension, the slow burn romance between Elina and the MMC is exquisite and when it happens, the spice is spicing! This is the romance you’ve dreamt of and comes to life with each word!
With intrigue, deception, secrets and power usurpation, this book with ruin you in the best way. This book is one of my favourite reads of 2025 and I cannot wait for the next book. I’ll be thinking about the ending of The Sol Crown until I get my hands on book 2

⚔️ War academy
❤️ Rivals to lovers
☠️ Deadly trials
✨Magic system
🖤 Found family
🔥 Secrets & twists
The Sol Crown kept me hooked from the beginning! Three chapters in I knew this would be a 5 star read. It was such a unique read. There were twists upon twists that I never saw coming, and I can’t wait until book 2 comes out!
This books give Fourth Wing vibes without the dragons. And trust me, you don’t miss the dragons! This world and magic system is so unique. Only a limited number of people have powers that they obtain when they turn 13. They are called the Gifted. Some of the powers on display are raising the dead, telekinesis, sending gale forced winds with a breath, and the ability to cause earthquakes and crack open the earth.
I was engaged from the very beginning. There are characters that I love and characters that I hated. I love the banter between all of the characters. It felt like a real, fluid friend group from fairly early on, but it also grew and adapted as the book went on. The character development of not only the main character, but also the supporting characters was pretty great.
Thank you so much to A. F. O’Meara for the opportunity to read this amazing book!

I would give this infinity stars! I have not connected with so many characters in a book for so long. there's a "Cassian" type BFF to the FMC that might just out do him in snark and playboy ways, a silent yet deadly secret bodyguard, strong leader with barely leashed rage for an FMC that delivers the best one liners I believe I've ever read, and an MMC that doesn't dare act like she's a fragile woman cause of he does she'll teach him real quick that she's someone to be scared of.
There are high stakes...not everyone will live, military training, strong bonds, hidden identities, heartbreak (I cried) and betrayal.
I saw parts coming even though I hadn't pieced it all together but the ending I DID NOT SEE COMING AT ALL!
This was so well written. I loved the glimpse of the magic that I'm sure we will see more of in the next book.
This is Fourth Wing but better! Fight me in it!!

WHAT WAS THAT??? Miss ma’am O’Meara, you sneaky little thing! This book blew me away. I am now officially obsessed and will forever autobuy her books. The way she so nicely have implemented a few very nice plottwists in here that I did not see coming, makes me appreciate it so much more! The ending had me gasping! I am feral for the two MCs, the found family are adorable! I loved this book from start to finish, could not put it down. Sometimes a girl just needs a really really good time, that good time is this book! This war training setting really is my jam, and the enemies/rivals to lovers is steaming in this one. Thank you for this book. I am straight onto the next one!!
August 16, 2025
Ok Junie- I simply cannot! There is something about her that just kept me giggling! Favorite quote: “Would you rather have dicks for fingers or a ball sack for a chin?”… Girl what, who says that lol!
Stone- Smh he irritated me from the very start and my opinion has not changed. There is just something about him that just infuriates me! Without saying too much, he’s definitely one to keep a watchful eye on!
Over all I loved this book, however, I do feel a strong comparison to Fourth With (without the dragons). I do wish it wasn’t so similar but it was still a great read! Looking forward to book 2! I had a feeling the cliffhanger was a gonna be a goodie and it definitely is!

I definitely didn’t see that plot twist coming! The FMC is badass and carries a huge burden on her shoulders along with many secrets. This book is action packed and has a really cool magic system. There is tension and great banter throughout until about 67% in and then BAM! Elina and stone start spicing it up! Really good slow burn but when the spice hits…it HITS girl! Loved this book and I am foaming out of the mouth for book 2!!!!
July 20, 2026
Ok as the queen of predicting plot twists this one got me! 👏🏻
A really solid book!
If I had to be critical I wish the romance was done a bit better, more yearning, better smut. But otherwise I had a great time 🥰

I loved this!!!
This was written so well, I enjoyed the modern banter that was thrown in the enemies/rivals to lovers aspect. Secret identities I'm obsessed.
This book literally contained all my favourite tropes and I was loving every second.

IF YOU LIKE FOURTH WING/HUNGER GAMES/SILVERCLOAK THIS IS FOR YOU
I absolutely loved this book, it had everything I personally love in a fantasy romance. High stakes, stabby FMC, brooding MMC, who did this to you, a war academy etc. I stayed awake well into the night to finish this as I couldn’t wait for the next part, there was always something preventing me from putting it down!
It was also so funny, I actually laughed at loud at times! The side characters (Deacon in particular is brilliant), the tension and the yearning was amazing.
I really felt like every line was deliberate so I was trying to take a mental note and question everything, but there is the perfect amount of unanswered questions for book 2.
Five stars, no notes, more please! X

MUST READ!
This book had me hooked from beginning to end. The characters of this book are everything. The FMC is strong, competitive, and hiding many secrets. The banter between her and the other characters will make you love this book even more. Between trying to train for war, finding love, keeping secrets, learning to trust others and trying to keep herself and her friends alive you’ll never believe where this journey leads her in the end of the book.

NOBODY TALK TO ME FOR 5 BUSINESS DAYS, I’M PROCESSING THIS ENDING 😭
I don’t think I was bored for a single page of this book! It’s fast paced, easy to follow, gripping from page one. Strong Fourth Wing vibes (minus the dragons 😏).
The FMC isn’t your typical fragile and breakable Romantasy damsel in distress… oh no, Elina is a soldier and she can kick ass! If you loved Cealena from TOG you will Love Elina 🖤 she is smart, strong and cunning, she is fierce and.. loves to eat good food!
“Tell me, Red… did he ever make you feel as out of control as I do?”
The MMC, Stone will quickly become your new book boyfriend with his bad mouth and the YEARNING.
“Imagine being gifted stars,” I whisper, dreamy and faraway. “I’ll pull the moon out of the sky do you if you ask me to.”
The banter was bantering, the slow burn was deliciously slow, I was giggling and kicking my feet, the obsession is real! The found family is EVERYTHING. Deacon being the comedy relief everyone needs, every single side character is memorable and I just love them all.
I thought I predicted the ending but oh dear, how wrong was I…!
The only thing that made me give it 4⭐️ is the use of modern terms throughout the book. Things like “knickers”, “carbs”, “caffeine”, “pasta”, “clinically insane” were just few that I can think of and made me roll my eyes slightly as the story wasn’t set in modern world.
Overall it’s a fantastic debut and I’m obsessed, absolutely can’t wait for book 2, it’s going to be a WILD RIDE!

Absolutely loved Elina!!!! A badass FMC who doesn’t take shit from no one. I personally love enemies to lovers and this was perfect. Stone is my next book boyfriend 😆
This is a perfect mix of Fourth Wings and Hunger Games. With great twists that shook me and I can’t wait for book 2 to come out.!

This book was amazing! It’s fourth wing meets the hunger games. It follows Elina on her journey in the kings army. Plot twist galore - I couldn’t put it down and can’t wait for book 2!
