The Moon-Cursed Crown

When the Crown of the Silver Mother, a long-lost divine relic, binds itself to Liora, a village healer with no hunger for power, it tears her from the life she knows and draws the attention of forces far older and far crueler than temple teachings ever admitted.

The Crown is no lifeless artifact. Its presence grows stronger by the day, pressing deeper into Liora’s thoughts and blurring the boundary between what she wants and what the relic wants from her.

Hunted by those who would worship, wield, or destroy the power she carries, Liora is forced to flee with a dangerous stranger whose knowledge of relics far exceeds what he is willing to explain. He offers no promises of safety, only a path forward through a world closing in around them. But the longer they run, the harder it becomes to tell which poses the greater threat: the people hunting her, the power taking root inside her, or the man she is beginning to trust.

In a world shaped by divine ruin, Liora has more to fear than the people hunting her. The Crown is already inside her thoughts, and its hold grows stronger every day.

The Moon-Cursed Crown is a dark fantasy romance filled with ancient relics, invasive magic, dangerous secrets, slow-burn tension, and a heroine fighting to remain herself as the power bound to her tightens its hold.
