Bride of Hollow Court: Book One of The Hollow Court Cycle

About this book

Mara Calder believes life is difficult enough, until she discovers that her reality is merely a facade. Beyond the veil lies the Hollowlands, a treacherous dimension governed by the Crownfold, where royal blood dictates who rules and who survives. Suddenly ripped from her life, Mara is thrust into the Hollow Court, trapped as both a coveted prize and a dangerous threat. She is forced into a world of mysterious rituals and hidden agendas, where no one will speak the truth about her purpose or the fate of the brides who vanished before her. Tasked with keeping her contained, Ronan Halward is meant to be her jailer, not her protector. Yet, as the lines between duty and desire blur, Ronan finds himself drawn to the very woman he is supposed to control. Their relationship simmers with the tension of a slow-burn romance, complicated by the deadly power struggles surrounding them. As Mara delves deeper into the secrets of the court, she uncovers a system built on beautiful, systemic cruelty. Refusing to play the role of a passive sacrifice, she prepares to dismantle the court from within, even if it means burning the entire system to the ground.
