A Sword for the Hollow King: The Hollow Crown
The crown was woven to remember. Now it has to survive being tested.
Calereth Darethalion rules a throne built, for four thousand years, on men who erased and obeyed. He is the first Hollow King woven instead to remember, to choose, to love, Anye's gift, and her gamble. It has held through one winter of peace. It has not yet been tested by war.
That peace is ending. Gravenmark's armies gather beneath the Black Citadel, and the Obsidian Throne has grown hungry for considerably more than old borders. As Calereth rides out with his company to hold what's left of an uneasy quiet, Anye is drawn toward something considerably older: a blade forged from divine light before the first crown was ever woven, shattered since the world's first war, calling to her across centuries of silence.
To answer it, she will have to become something the Loom Council never trained her for. Along the way she'll uncover a truth Gravenmark has kept buried for generations, one that will ask her to be exactly what she has always been: the one Tailor who refuses to let anything be erased, however old, however broken, however far past saving the world has already decided it is.
A wedding is promised. A kingdom holds its breath. And somewhere between the gods' old bargains and a war that has already begun, Anye will have to decide precisely what a crown woven to remember is actually worth defending.
Perfect for fans of Naomi Novik's richly woven, pattern-bound magic, Sarah J. Maas's court intrigue and god-touched romance, and any reader who has ever rooted for the broken thing to be mended rather than simply discarded.
A Sword for the Hollow King is Book Two of The Hollow Crown, an epic fantasy about memory, magic, and the quiet, dangerous work of choosing to remember what the world would rather forget.
