The Hollow King Of Blackthorn Keep

The Hollow King of Blackthorn Keep
For nine hundred years, everyone who loved the king has died.
Blackthorn Keep is a kingdom shrouded in silence, its forests cursed, its people haunted, and its immortal king feared as a monster.
When healer and scholar Nysera Vale arrives to investigate the ancient blight poisoning the land, she expects to uncover a forgotten illness—not a kingdom built upon lies. Behind the castle walls, she finds King Caelan Blackthorn, a man burdened by centuries of grief and an impossible curse that destroys anyone who dares love him.
The closer Nysera comes to the truth, the more dangerous the curse becomes.
Ancient records bleed secrets. Forgotten magic awakens. A betrayal buried for nine centuries begins to unravel, revealing that the curse was never a punishment from the gods it was created by human hands.
But breaking it will demand more than courage.
When an impossible sacrifice tears them apart and steals the memories of the love they fought to build, Nysera and Caelan must choose whether love is worth risking everything a second time.
As enemies close in and the darkness surrounding Blackthorn grows stronger, they discover that the greatest battle is not against an ancient curse but against the fear that has ruled generations before them.
