The Grave-Bride’s Crown

She was never meant to wear the crown. She was meant to survive it. Nyla Thorn has spent her life among graves, learning the names of the dead and pretending she does not see the shadows that follow the living. Then she saves cursed Prince Orren Veyl from an assassin's arrow-and exposes the silver eyes that mark her as a death-seer. Taken from her quiet village and dragged into the frozen kingdom of Vaelreach, Nyla discovers the royal family has been hiding a brutal truth for generations.
Beneath the palace waits the Dead Crown, an ancient bargain fed by murdered brides, stolen names, and women like her. Orren is cursed to destroy everyone he loves. Nyla is the one woman who might break that curse. But the dead want payment. The church wants her chained. The throne wants blood. And the more Nyla uncovers, the more she realizes her own family's secrets may be darker than the crown itself.
To save Orren, free the forgotten, and survive the old powers hunting her, Nyla must become something no king, priest, or grave ever expected.
