You’ll see subreddits like r/RedQueen or r/FreeEBOOKS occasionally posting links. Ignore them. Reddit’s policies have cracked down on piracy, so most working links are hidden in private messages or Discord servers. These are often honeypots or outdated.

A telling sign: Any post claiming “Broken Throne PDF Google Drive link below” with 15 upvotes and no comments is almost certainly a scam bot.

Google Drive is a common target for these searches because it allows users to upload and share files via public links. In the past, many PDF repositories have hosted copyrighted books on the platform. However, the landscape has shifted significantly:

The internet can tempt you with quick access, but the best wins are clean: support creators when possible, use legitimate sources, and avoid sketchy shared Drive files. You’ll sleep better—and creators will keep making the things you love.

If you want, tell me whether you mean a specific "Broken Throne" (book, game, or other) and I’ll list legitimate places to look or suggest legal alternatives.
