The city is waiting. The Hollowlands are watching. And Mara Calder is about to discover how much was broken when the old seals gave way.
She is no longer the hidden girl the court could dress, silence, and move at will. She is wanted now, coveted by rival houses, hunted by those who fear her blood, and pulled ever closer to the dangerous centre of a kingdom that has always preferred inheritance to truth. Beside her stands Ronan Halward, the man sworn to guard her, the man she should not ache for, and the one presence that turns restraint into torment.
As enemies rise, hidden doors open, and a darkness older than any chamber stirs beneath the city, Mara must do more than survive palace schemes and private betrayals. If she wants children safe and the crown honest, she will have to tear the lie out by its roots and decide whether the power waiting for her is a burden to escape or a throne to claim.
Queen of the Hollowlands is an adult fantasy romance filled with forbidden desire, court intrigue, dangerous bloodlines, and a heroine forced to become more powerful than anyone ever intended.
