Crown of Veiled Embers: A healer with hidden shadow magic and a feared Shadow King must unite forbidden light and dark to save their blighted world. An epic enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance of betrayal and ancient power.

In the pristine city of Aethelgard, Lillian Harris is a prodigy, the most gifted Caelus healer of her generation, her hands conduits for a sacred light that can mend any wound. Her life is a gilded cage of perfection, her future secured by a betrothal to the nation’s most celebrated knight. But when a mysterious, incurable plague called the Creeping Ash afflicts her beloved sister, Lillian’s radiant gift becomes a poison, accelerating the disease with every desperate touch. Her perfect world shatters, revealing that the brightest light can cast the darkest shadows.

Forced to question everything she believes, Lillian abandons her life of privilege and follows the whispers of a forbidden journal into the blighted lands of the Chthon-touched, the sworn enemies of her people. There, she must forge a fragile alliance with their weary, battle-scarred king, a man of shadow who sees her as either a spy or a weapon. Together, in the heart of a dying city, they begin to unravel a conspiracy that has poisoned their world for centuries, discovering a terrifying, balanced power that is neither light nor darkness, but something far greater.

Now, hunted by the fanatical army led by the very man she was to marry, Lillian is caught in a desperate race against time. She must unlock the secrets of her own forgotten nature and master a force that could be salvation—or the ultimate blasphemy. In a world tearing itself apart, can a healer of light and a king of shadow mend the soul of the land before it’s consumed by a holy war? Or will the price of their miraculous discovery be their own annihilation?
