The hollow crown

For sixteen years, Evelyn Ashcroft has lived an ordinary life in a quiet English village, believing her father died before she was born. But on one stormy night, a mysterious man with silver eyes appears at her doorstep, claiming to be the father she never knew-and before she can escape, he drags her into a hidden realm where magic is law, immortals rule, and humans are little more than prey.

The world of the Fae is breathtaking, cruel, and built on secrets.

Evelyn soon learns that she is not just a mortal who wandered into the wrong place. Her birth was hidden for a reason, powerful Courts have been searching for her since the day she disappeared, and an ancient prophecy speaks of a girl capable of changing the fate of the entire realm.

Now every High Court wants to control her.

Some want to use her.

Others want her dead.

Among them is Kael Vaerion, the cold, arrogant heir to one of the most feared noble houses in Faerie. He seems to despise everything about Evelyn-her humanity, her stubbornness, and the chaos that follows wherever she goes. Their every encounter ends in sharp words, dangerous bargains, and barely restrained hatred.

But as betrayals multiply and long-buried truths begin to surface, Evelyn discovers that the greatest threat to the realm is older than the Courts themselves. To survive, she may have to trust the one person she swore she would never stand beside.

In a kingdom where every smile hides a lie, every promise has a price, and love can be the deadliest weakness of all, Evelyn must decide who she truly is.

Before the Hollow Crown chooses for her.
