The Wound Throne: An Adult Dark Romantasy of a Broken Throne, Stolen Names, and a Love That Refused to Kneel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798187982493)

The crown is broken.
The hunger remains.

Celestine Blackmere has crossed witness roads, furnace archives, and the shattered heart of Ashmere to expose the lie that built the throne.

But truth alone cannot end a kingdom's oldest hunger.

Jareth Valcrest still stands bound to the wound beneath the palace, carrying the last pressure of a power that survived every coronation by making fear look necessary. Nemeron Vale is falling, the court is breaking, and the city is finally learning how much of its history was fed to the crown and called order.

To end it, Celestine and Jareth must do more than destroy a throne.

They must build a new way of remembering.

As the dead demand an answer, the witnesses gather, the hidden doors of Ashmere open, and the final star waits above the ruined hall, Celestine must choose whether power can ever be safely held or whether survival depends on refusing the very centre kingdoms are taught to worship.

Because the last hunger does not want a ruler.

It wants one necessary hand.

And this time, Ashmere must answer together.
