She walked into the monster's kingdom to save everyone she loved—and never expected to save him too. When an eternal winter creeps across Hearth's Edge and the last barrier between the mortal realm and the Gloaming falls, Elara makes the only choice left: volunteer as tribute to the Hollow King—an ancient Fae who sustains his frozen court by feeding on mortal memories. She arrives in his Palace of Frozen Echoes armed with nothing but her mother's wool dress, a river stone, and a plan to find his weakness and end his reign. What she finds instead is a creature more broken than monstrous—a king who has consumed so many lives he has nearly forgotten what it means to have one. Caelan is everything she expected: impossibly beautiful, terrifyingly powerful, and utterly hollow. He steals her warmest memories like a connoisseur savoring fine wine. He reads the constellations her father taught her from the fabric of her own mind. He should be her enemy. But enemies don't sit beside you in forgotten libraries. They don't share their oldest wounds in midnight confessions. They don't look at you like you're the first real thing they've touched in centuries. As the Winter Solstice approaches and Elara's memories slip away one by one, she must choose: complete her mission and restore the mortal world, or risk everything on the possibility that a hollow heart can learn to love. Perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses, Bride, and The Bridge Kingdom series.
