Crown of Thorns and Starlight
Every crown is forged in thorns. Every star hides its shadow.
Celia has always lived on the edge of Hollowlite’s glittering kingdom, her magic kept secret in the shadows of Everthorn Manor. But when a fateful encounter with the prince drags her into a world of masked courts and dangerous bargains, Celia discovers her power is the key to ancient forces long forgotten.
As whispers of a cursed star and a fallen crown begin to surface, Celia is torn between three paths—the golden heir who promises her freedom, the stranger cloaked in shadow who tempts her toward forbidden power, or the creeping magic that calls her by name.
To claim her destiny, she must step into a tangled forest of lies, where every light casts a shadow… and every love demands a sacrifice.
In a world where starlight can burn and shadows can love, will her heart save her—or doom her?

Loved this book! The writing was so vivid I could picture every scene. Great action, strong character growth, rich world-building, and a slow-burn romance. I also liked that the main character focused on her own growth and power throughout. Can’t wait for book two!
