Crown of Roses
A fantasy romance with Rapunzel vibes, fae, and magic.

Cursed with the blood of her enemy, Maeve will stop at nothing to prove she's worthy of her mother's crown. Her opportunity finally arrives when the Scathing, a dark fae magic, afflicts her kingdom and leaves a trail of death and decay in its wake.

The only way to stop the Scathing is to retrieve the soul of the goddess Danua from within the fae realm. Maeve's mother sends her off with one condition . . . return with the soul, or don't return at all. But Faeven is nothing like the fairytales she's read; it's full of ancient secrets and wild magic.

Determined to save her kingdom, Maeve has no choice but to rely upon Rowan, the one faerie she shouldn't trust. But as her feelings for Rowan transcend from hardened resentment to blind passion, a more sinister threat lies in wait, one ready to destroy the fae and human worlds. Maeve must find a way to defeat it, or lose both realms to the rising darkness forever.

Contains mature themes.

About the Author

Hillary Raymer is a fantasy romance author. She's a wanderer, a storyteller, and believes in happily ever afters.

Hillary has always been a dreamer, and lucky for her, she turned those dreams into stories. She has an unfinished bachelor's degree in English, because she ran off and married a Marine halfway through college. She has an affinity toward plants, loves flowers, and enjoys scoping out metaphysical markets for crystals. Wanderlust comes naturally to her, and she's doing her best to instill the same wild and free values in her daughters. When not writing, Hillary can be found attempting to do yoga, buying more makeup she doesn't need, or discovering small businesses on Etsy.

Aletha George grew up in a home surrounded by romance-shelves of it, Avon, Ballantine, Harlequin-and the classic movies of the 1940s and '50s. She is a passionate reader, writer, and audiobook narrator. She believes in happily ever after.
