The gods sent the Hollow to remind mortals they are powerless. She is the only one who knows they are wrong.
Seren Ashveil was never supposed to matter. Third-born daughter of the weakest kingdom, she has no crown, no power, and no business entering the Rite of Crowning - the ancient trial that will determine who inherits the cursed throne of Valdris.
But she has a secret: she can hear the Hollow. Not as monsters. As voices. And what they are saying will unravel everything the Pact was built to protect.
The last person she expected to be bound to for the duration of the Rite is Kael Dawnreth - the Raven. God-chosen. Oath-sworn. Cold as the ash valleys he hunts in. He does not trust her. She does not trust him. They are in agreement on exactly one thing: the wrong ruler cannot claim that crown.
Now they are crossing cursed lands together, and every trial peels back another layer of the man underneath the legend - one who has been a captive of the gods since he was sixteen, who carries a grief so old it has turned to stone, and who looks at her sometimes in a way that makes her forget why she hated him.
She is trying to remember.
He is trying to stop.
Crown of Ravens is a slow-burn, high-stakes enemies-to-lovers epic romantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros - where gods can be wrong, crowns can be refused, and the most dangerous thing in any kingdom is a woman who has learned to use being underestimated.
The Crown of Ravens series is best enjoyed in order.
