The Call of Crowns: Book Two of Birth of a Dynasty

It’s a game of palace intrigue, survival, and plotting as Khalil and Zikora continue to grow up under the thumb of a tyrannical family in this electrifying second book in the Birth of a Dynasty trilogy.

The kingdom of Ahkelbulin is on the brink of war. Following a shocking death, the royal court is a viper’s nest of ambition and betrayal. The princes, once united, now eye the throne with hungry gazes, forging dangerous alliances that could tear their dynasty apart.

In the heart of the palace, Zikora navigates the treacherous political currents. Far from home and concealing a powerful secret, she is drawn into a high-stakes game where one wrong move could mean her end. Elsewhere, a new commander, Khalil, finds his loyalty tested as he is caught between warring factions, forced to choose between duty and morality.

As power shifts and loyalties are questioned, unlikely alliances will form and ancient powers will awaken. In a world where blood oaths hold immense power and the line between friend and foe is blurred, the struggle for the crown will demand unimaginable sacrifices. The very future of Ahkelbulin hangs in the balance, and not everyone will survive the call of crowns...

“Incredibly, Chinaza Bado's BIRTH OF A DYNASTY grows more gripping with each page, and its promise to follow two wronged nobles from separate houses to their bloody, prophecy-fueled and empire-ending revenge continually amps the book's towering stakes. Like being strapped into a rollercoaster, it's a heady feeling. The ride's begun, you're climbing inescapably higher, and though you've yet to hit the steepest drops, your heart's already hammering. Want to know what kind of read this is? It's the kind that'll have you desperate for book two.”
