The Prophecy in the Night by sydneywigginswrites

This is the first book I've ever written so I'm still figuring things out. Please be nice, but do give feedback. One crown. One curse. One year to live. Wren Anaelle Yearwood never asked to be queen. But the crown comes with a deadly fate: a curse that has claimed every queen before her-and now has its sights set on her. With only one year to break the spell or die trying, Wren flees the palace in search of the witch who doomed her bloodline. Haunted by cryptic messages, hunted by dark forces, and accompanied by a charming stranger with secrets of his own, Wren must navigate a world of forbidden magic, shifting loyalties, and ancient prophecies. As war brews and her power grows, she discovers the truth is far more dangerous than she ever imagined. The key to survival lies in the heart of a cursed forest, a flower of legend, and a choice that could change the fate of her kingdom-or end it forever. I hope you enjoy it!

Having no memory of a mother, a father slayed by a Hunter of Baron Ovid, and his sister Ruth is now plagued by an ancient disease not seen since before the New Age began a millennium ago. With no one able-or willing-to help, Markus is forced to make ends meet and care for Ruth himself, a difficult task for one still so young.

It is here where Markus is promised peace, tranquility, and, more importantly, a cure for his little sister. Now Markus must make a decision.
