In The Hollow Crown, twins Astra and Keiran Bennett are anything but ordinary. Born as tribirds-a rare blend of fae, human, and witch-they are caught between three worlds that fear what they cannot control. Raised in the quiet village of Blackthorn Hollow after their father's brutal murder and their mother's mysterious disappearance, the twins have spent their lives in the shadows, struggling to master their volatile magic.
But their fragile existence shatters with the arrival of Dorian, the enigmatic and cursed Prince of Fates. With a tragic past deeply entwined with the Bennett lineage, Dorian offers Astra a dangerous deal: help him uncover a buried secret that could reshape the magical realm, and he will help her harness the powers threatening to consume her.
Drawn into a deadly web of fae court politics, witch rebellions, and vampire intrigue, Astra and Keiran unearth long-buried truths about their heritage. Their mother's disappearance was no accident-it was orchestrated by Serena, the cold and cunning Witch Queen, who seeks to use the twins' bloodline to unlock forbidden magic. Meanwhile, their father's death ties back to Dorian's own family, a legacy of betrayal and heartbreak that continues to haunt them all.
As alliances shift and tensions rise, Astra finds herself torn between loyalty to her brother and her growing connection to Luca, a dangerously alluring vampire tied to Serena's schemes.
Keiran, battling the dark power growing within him, discovers that even his bond with Astra may not be enough to save him from himself.
With the magical world on the brink of collapse, Astra and Keiran must confront their family's fractured legacy and make impossible choices. Will they rise to claim the destiny written in their blood, or will their sacrifices be in vain?
Rich with forbidden romance, high-stakes betrayal, and the unbreakable bond of siblings, The Hollow Crown is a gripping tale of magic, loyalty, forbidden love and the power to defy fate itself.
