The Hollow Crown
HEMRIDGE, NORTH CAROLINA, 1989.
Cole assures Willow that the danger has passed. The Queen’s Box is closed, its curse contained, the seams between worlds stitched shut.
But when a church fire exposes a “ministry” that preaches salvation while exploiting the children in its care, Willow and Cole realize their peace was only an illusion. The boy they rescue, seven-year-old Gage, is gentle, watchful—and carrying a creature that shouldn’t exist. Through their strange bond, Gage learns a terrible the line between love and cruelty runs straight through Hemridge’s heart.
As whispers spread and old faith curdles into fear, Willow must face the secret she’s kept even from Cole.
His little brother, Micah, isn’t dead.
He’s alive. Renamed. Rewritten.
And wearing a crown that was never meant for him.
Love brought Willow and Cole together. The truth—and the hollow crown it shields—may tear them apart.

About the author
Celeste Sutton
3 books21 followersCeleste Sutton writes about enchanted realms, dangerous bargains, and the kind of love that makes you ache.
For two decades, she published novels the traditional way—books that found millions of readers and spent months on bestseller lists. But eventually, Celeste did what any fantasy heroine worth her salt would do: she opened the door to something wilder. Indie publishing called, and she stepped through gladly, joining a fierce, brilliant community of storytellers who believe magic is meant to be shared.
Celeste’s love affair with fantasy began early, with the wondrous adventures of Edward Eager and the dragon-filled skies of Pern. Recently, thanks to her children, she rediscovered the genre as an adult—falling headfirst into Brandon Sanderson’s intricate worlds of intrigue and sacrifice, Travis Baldree’s cozy taverns where retired warriors serve cinnamon rolls, and Heather Fawcett’s wild meadows of charming but dangerous fae.
She now writes immersive, addictive fantasy (with just enough romance) for readers who crave wonder, adventure, and high-stakes enchantment.

ARC Review:
This book pulled me in way faster than I expected. It’s a mix of Southern gothic atmosphere, family secrets, magic, and real world danger, and the balance feels natural, not forced. The writing is smooth, the pacing stays steady, and the emotional moments actually land without trying too hard.
The characters were the standout for me. Willow reads like a real person, messy, stubborn, caring, and weighed down by everything she’s been through. The side characters are strong too, especially the siblings and the people in Willow’s circle. There’s a sense of community, fear, and loyalty running underneath the whole story that makes it feel grounded even with the fantasy elements.
The worldbuilding is easy to follow, and the mix of fae magic with small-town Southern eeriness works really well. Nothing feels confusing, and the tension builds in a way that keeps you turning pages without feeling overwhelmed.
Overall, it’s emotional but not heavy handed, magical but not confusing, and dark in all the right ways. If you like stories with mystery, folklore vibes, complicated characters, and slow burn tension, this one is absolutely worth reading.
Thank you Celeste for allowing to read this masterpiece early!

Second in Celeste Sutton's 'Her Dark Inheritance' series (third if you count the prequel, 'The Ballad of Baby Blue'), this is best read after the previous volumes in the series but has recaps of the backstory written into it so would work as a standalone (you'll be wanting the other two afterwards though!).
Set in the American South in the wild mountains of North Carolina, the story continues the tale of Willow Braselton, raised in Atlanta society but with a touch of Fae blood which in the previous book drew her to the realm of Eryth and the discovery of family secrets. These Fae are far from Tinkerbell, however, very far indeed… Having made her way back home and into the arms of her loyal mountain man Cole, she is harbouring a secret about his missing brother which could ruin their settled life together, brought into the foreground when they rescue a young boy called Gage who is hiding a creature from Eryth.
Beautifully written and very atmospheric (even if I, being British, had to keep googling critters etc. that I didn't understand - whippoorwill??), this draws together strands from the other two books brilliantly. Gage and his little sister Brylee are adorable (" Just wet! Not deaded"), and Ruby and Brooxie are as great as they were in 'The Queen's Box'.
Dramatic, evocative and amusing in parts, this is an excellent read, and highly recommended.

I am more of standalone books person rather than a series. But this series hits me different. Blue is great grandparents generation. I love to know something like that. Once you start reading you will connect all the dots and that makes sense.
The serpents, the box, the kids disappearing, Poppy. Everything is interconnected and story to understand.
The secret passage or the magic box or the lost forest.
How important is to find connections with your own family. The lost soul is the main strength of the book. Omg I always fall in love with this series.

I really enjoyed this book! It was fun and action packed. I was wondering where it would go after Book 1, and I enjoyed the adventure. We follow Willow and Cole, and we are introduced to some new characters, that add an extra layer of depth. There are some plot twists I was not expecting, and we get to learn more about the Duskwyrms that I was personally excited about, and it didn’t disappoint. I love how we get to learn more of Blue and the connection from Book 1.5 The Ballad of Baby Blue. It ends on a cliffhanger and now I can’t wait to find out what happens next!

Celeste. This book is so amazing. I think this is the best of the series so far and I can just see it continuing to go up from here. This book make me smile, made me proud, make me cry, it had it all. Seeing the journey that everyone went on in this book was amazing. Not only was this one Willow's story but it was Cole's and Gage's and Ruby's and Brooxie's and Lissa's and Fil's. There was so much incredible depth to this book and I loved it.

If the bright illusions of faerie tales no longer stir you, turn toward this Appalachian sorrow. The Hollow Crown is not a fantasy dressed in glitter, but a meditation on the brutal inheritance of magic, memory, and mortal neglect. Celeste Sutton shapes a world steeped in rot, ritual, and the echo of missing children, where every choice carries a cost.
Willow, once drawn into Eryth by dreams of a prince, returns carrying a cursed Box, a grief that lives like a bruise, and secrets too heavy for her young life. Through the jagged pull of her gifts, the truth forcing weight of Wrenna and the quiet slipping of Orrin, we witness danger in both realms. The fae court is sharp and political, but the mortal world holds horrors that cut deeper: bruises hidden under shirts, money exchanged for the unthinkable, fear that bends entire communities.
Sutton writes with the ache of an old hymn. Her world feels alive and wounded, from the blue marked cabins in the mountains to the deadly pull of Weeping Jenny Falls. Yet within the darkness, the tenderness of found family holds steady. Cole’s quiet strength, Brooxie’s warm kitchen, and Ruby’s fierce watchfulness offer light that feels hard won and fragile.
A Glimpse into the Hollow:
A fae realm shaped by rebellion and a queen who whispers in ways meant to break.
Mountain communities tied to poverty, superstition, and the memory of children taken.
A heroine trying to protect others from the same loss she carries.
Magic that wounds more often than it grants.
Trigger Considerations:
Includes emotional neglect, trauma, manipulation, child abuse, grief, kidnapping, mentions of suicide, past sexual violence, and both magical and real world harm.
If you seek a story that strips the shine from faerie tales and reveals the bone beneath, take up The Hollow Crown. Its ghosts will follow you long after the final page.
Note: I recieved this book as an ARC 🖤

Author Celeste Sutton has described this novel by saying, “The Hollow Crown, a Southern Gothic novel both fierce and full of grace. I hope it haunts you in the best way: with wild beauty, old secrets, and the stubborn light that survives even the darkest corners.” After finishing the book I’ve come to the conclusion that her description absolutely hits the nail on the head. The Hollow Crown again follows Willow Braselton, this time however, predominantly in the Appalachian area of Lost Souls & Hemridge where she now resides with her beau Cole Steadman. The Queen’s box is still under the watchful eye of Willow, and continues to be a source of contention in her life, seemingly causing more problems than it’s solving. The cursed box continues to harbors secrets, but it’s not the only one keeping secrets this time around. Will secrets of the past and present drown Willow and the town of Hemridge, or will secrets be exposed and cause rising tensions to finally come to a head? I love these characters and I really enjoyed watching them grow and evolve from one book to the next. I really like that there are recurring characters we’ve met before, but that we also get to meet a couple of new characters. The plot is absolutely thickening and I’m here for it. There were so many times while reading that I audibly gasped and then begin talking to myself about what was going on, trying to talk my mind through it. There was never a dull moment and this book is just so good. It picks up right where the last book left off, the continuity was perfection, and the way it ended left me craving more. I look forward to the next book and I will absolutely be grabbing it as soon as it’s available!

In 1989 Hemridge, North Carolina, Willow and Cole believe the nightmare of the Queen’s Box is over, until a church fire reveals a predatory ministry. They save a quiet, perceptive seven-year-old boy named Gage, who harbors an impossible creature and a psychic bond that uncovers the town’s buried cruelties. As fear spreads through Hemridge, Willow confronts the secret she’s hidden from Cole: his brother Micah is alive, transformed and bound to a sinister power.
This is the second book in the Her Dark Inheritance series but it can be read as a standalone. The author includes enough hints and context to help readers understand the key events of the first book. Despite that strong foundation, I found it difficult to fully connect with this sequel as someone who hasn’t read the first book.
Even though I struggled at times to connect emotionally with the characters, I admired the creativity behind the story. The premise is undeniably compelling. The atmosphere is rich and the ideas are fascinating. I feel that readers who loved the first book will also love this sequel.
On a lighter note, I really do love the overall storyline of this series. It’s intriguing enough that it actually makes me want to go back, read the first book properly and then return to this one with fresh eyes.

I did not expect to get swallowed whole by this book, but here we are. Sutton takes Southern Gothic, shakes in some fae mythology, trauma, guilt, feral children, and small-town decay, then lights the whole thing on fire. The result is unsettling, beautiful, and way too immersive for anyone who planned on sleeping.
The opening chapters alone are enough to hook you: forest rites with mooncubs who act like adorable little assassins-in-training, and Willow, a young woman carrying more grief than one person should, but still diving off waterfalls to save kids she barely knows. The rescue sequence is cinematic and stressful in all the right ways, and the emotional fallout hits even harder.
Sutton’s atmosphere is ridiculous in its richness: mountains that watch, water that whispers, settlements that feel cursed even without the blue X’s on the doors. And don’t get me started on the fae realm, dreamy, dangerous, and threaded through everything like a warning.
The themes are heavy: child disappearances, neglect, generational trauma, and manipulation. Sutton doesn’t exploit them; she handles them with a grim tenderness that feels earned. Willow’s magic is both a blessing and a curse, and the way memories bleed into her is devastating every time.
My only complaint is that Sutton clearly enjoys twisting the knife, but honestly, that’s half the book’s charm. If you like your fantasy dark, atmospheric, and emotionally loaded, this delivers.

This was such an amazing book! Book one was wonderful, but book two is even better. The writing style is so unique. The author does such a great job of setting the atmosphere and tone of this story. There is great beauty in the rural mountain communities of North Carolina, but there is also an undercurrent of danger and despair.
I liked that this book centered more on Willow’s relationship with her found family. I absolutely adore the sisters and Cole as well as the new addition of 7-year-old Gage. All of the side characters are so well written and really add to the story as a whole.
This book has elements of fantasy and magic but also the harsh realities of poverty, corruption and religious fanaticism. There are wonderfully heartwarming moments as well as absolutely heartbreaking moments. I could not put this book down. I am so looking forward to continuing Willow, Cole and Gage’s story in the next book!

The Hollow Crown by Celeste Sutton
Her Dark Inheritance, Book 2
These books should be read in order and if you want the full experience, I highly suggest starting with The Ballad of Baby Blue.
Goodness what a story. I jumped right into this book after finishing The Queens Box. I needed to know what was happening with Willow and her decision. Boy was I surprised by how everything evolved. We get to see some of the same characters from the last book (Col;e I am looking at you) and we get some new faces...I loved Gage and his secret....
We continue right where the previous story ended. my heart wasn't sure if I could take anymore bad news but I powered through and I am so glad I did. I am really enjoying this series and we get another cray ending but I am here for it all. Well done Celeste. You are an amazing storyteller with a very vivid writing style that I appreciate. Thank you for your words.

Oh my gosh my girl Celeste!!! You know I loved this book! I absolutely loved it! 100%. What a great second book for our series. And you already know I had some choice words for you. Smh. You did deliver on them you did. But ughhhh. I love being on this journey with you. You keep throwing me these grandmas who are questionable and I don’t know what to do with them. Oh my gosh. Gage. My boy gage. I love him. I love him. He has my heart in the palm of his hands already and his new little friends and the reveal at the end. And don’t think I ain’t mad about you kicking off for a nicer term of words for a certain someone that was quite mean for sure. I cannot wait for book three to see where we go next and I need everyone to go read it now that we are released. Or grandma in the wheelchair with her bell will be coming after you along with me. So go read. Thanks. 🫣

I DONT HAVE WORDS. I— I READ IT TOO FAST. I COULDN’T PUT IT DOWN?! I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF NOW.
Celeste, you’re a genius. So many loose ends were tied up and then you ended on another. You are a mastermind and your works always impress me.
So many questions from Baby Blue were answered in this book and for that I’m so thankful. I would highly recommend starting with Baby Blue, moving to The Queen’s Box, and then reading The Hollow Crown.
I can’t wait for the next installment!!!

I really enjoyed getting to read this book, it had that fantasy element that I was wanting from the first book. The overall concept was really well written and enjoyed the overall world building in this. It was a strong sequel in the Her Dark Inheritance series and had that feel that I was looking for and enjoyed the way the characters were written. Celeste Sutton was able to weave a strong tale and enjoyed getting back into this world.

That was a great read and the Cliffhanger!!! Omg, I wasn’t expecting that. The beginning of the book did drag on a bit… but once I caught on it started making more sense. I loved sweet valiant Gage!! From the first encounter he had with Willow to the very end! The thoughest little man ever!! I can’t wait to find out what happens next!
November 17, 2025
Oh I LOVED this book! The end of every chapter made me want to read a little more, I’ve never had so many late nights. It ended on a cliffhanger but instead of leaving me frustrated it just made me desperately want the next book. I can’t wait to read on! I think this is my favourite of the series so far.

Wow wow wow I loved book 2 I loved that it kept u guessing and all the excitement and love you feel and the tears you may have maybe a little and the love that grow from the characters finally and the cliffhanger that happened and I want more
November 3, 2025
My excitement for needing the next installment in the series might drive me crazy with the cliffhanger we were left on. But seriously the character build and feelings...ughhh Celeste 😭 you've outdone yourself once again!
November 21, 2025
This book takes place after the events in The Queen’s Box. I liked seeing more of Cole and Willow in this book. Willow is kind of number 2 here to me because certain secrets were not shared and they should have been. We got new characters who were a good addition and felt integral to the overall story as well as to character growth. I really should have known there would be a cliffhanger and a plot twist, having read The Queen's Box, but somehow I was still surprised by it. I can't wait to read what happens next!

A haunting tale with a true Appalachian feeling. The description “southern gothic” is perfect. This is not a sparkling magical fairytale. It’s a gritty, heart-aching story lightened by the spark of found family in the dark sorrow of a wounded town and a treacherous court.
I felt the emotional impact, and enjoyed the rich imagery. The pacing felt a little off in the beginning but it caught up to the plot - which is amazing and left me wondering about book one. This was able to be read as a standalone, but I will be going back to read book one and probably reread this one!
