The Hollow Prince

By Marina Belle

A cursed prince. A reluctant sacrifice. A bond forged in shadows and desire.

Calista was never meant to take her sister's place. Chosen as the moon's sacred offering, she is sent into the heart of a crumbling castle--and into the hands of the Hollow Knight, a monstrous figure cloaked in myth and hunger. But beneath the god-bound armor is a man: Sorin Aetharys, the once-prince of a fallen kingdom, whose touch awakens something dangerous in them both.

Trapped together in a world of decaying grandeur and whispered gods, Calista and Sorin must navigate twisted prophecies, forgotten magic, and the thin line between sacrifice and seduction. As their fates entwine, desire becomes a weapon--and love, a risk neither of them can afford.

Fans of dark romantasy, gothic fantasy, and forbidden love will be drawn into this lush, atmospheric debut. With haunting lore, a brooding antihero, and a heroine who refuses to break, The Hollow Prince is the start of a series where romance and ruin walk hand in hand.
