The Riverbound Crown
The Riverbound Crown is a dark fantasy romance where a single breath can become a vow-and a river can become a god.
Rhiannon is marked by an ancient Siltband, a living collar that tightens whenever fear rises or words slip free. Beneath a masked court built inside a drowned city, the River-Witness listens for promises it can claim...and the moment it learns her voice, it can walk out of the depths wearing her body like a crown.
Maelor, a dangerous prince raised on ritual and lies, offers Rhiannon a bargain that looks like salvation: a "lock" made of shell and riverstone, a silent bond the court will accept, and an escape route carved through forbidden tunnels toward thin air and winter sky. But the River-Witness doesn't let go. It chews through locks, learns the language of trees, and follows them into the surface world-pulling at the door inside Rhiannon's throat, begging for one whispered name.
As the chase tightens and the river begins to climb, Rhiannon must master the only weapon the Witness can't steal: silence chosen on her own terms. And Maelor must decide how much of himself he's willing to bleed to keep her mouth-and her life-her own.
A haunting, atmospheric fantasy romance full of masks, salt, vows, and obsession-The Riverbound Crown is perfect for readers who love dangerous magic, slow-burn intensity, and lovers who would rather break the world than let it claim her.
