Rot
"This stain, it festers like a wound. If not taken care of, it will spread, grow infectious."
Deep within the stone walls of Kanzia's castle, a ghost wakes from death. Elias Blackwood was supposed to be dead. This is something he has known since his heart stopped at ten, something he is reminded of in each shuddering breath taken since that day. He's fought since then to claw his way back into the world of the living, one herb mixture at a time. So far, it hasn't been going well.
But all of that changes when the alluring, twisting world of the faerie kingdom opens its doors to him. Now, there's a real chance for a proper cure, one more filling than the hesitant spell that's kept him alive thus far. Will Elridge holds the answers he's so desperately searched for? Or will he just replace one curse with another? Is this an escape or simply a new prison?
There's only one way to find out.

OKAY I READ IT AND EDITED IT!! IT WAS SO GOOD
Elias is genuinely one of my favorite characters and it's so fun to be in his head throughout the entire book <33
like such a good protagonist POV
I also love all the side characters! They're very well written and I do have some favorites that I'm excited to see in book 2 as well >:)
