A Court of Crows and Curses: A Dark Romantasy of Forbidden Vows and Broken Crowns

In a kingdom where crows carry whispers of the dead, Elara-a human thief with a secret lineage-is captured and forced to compete in the deadly Sun Trials to win the hand of the vicious Crow King. But the king's mysterious brother, Kael, offers her a dangerous bargain: help him uncover the court's darkest secret, and he will grant her freedom. As they navigate a labyrinth of political intrigue and ancient magic, their fake alliance ignites into a passion that could burn the entire court to the ground. With each passing day, Elara discovers her own hidden power awakening-a power that could break the kingdom's ancient curse or condemn her to become the very monster she fears.
