Paranormal Romance — slow burn romance, happily ever after, swoony romance reads.A paranormal romance of revenge, a secret baby, small-town secrets, and the home they built from ruins. When bone-reader Wren Ashford touches the dead, she sees their final memories—a gift that has made her an outcast in the sleepy town of Gravesend. But when a corpse washes up on the riverbank with a necromancer’s mark carved into its ribs, Wren is forced to ally with Kael Stone, the death-touched guard who once broke her heart. Kael bears the curse of the Veil Walker: he can step between worlds, but each crossing steals a piece of his soul. Together, they must stop a rogue necromancer from tearing the veil between the living and the dead—a catastrophe that would unleash an army of vengeful spirits upon the mortal realm. But Wren has a secret that could destroy everything: she plans to use the necromancer’s own magic to resurrect her sister, Lily, who died in a fire ten years ago. The ritual requires a soul for a soul, and Kael’s death-touched essence is the perfect price. As the necromancer’s attacks grow bolder and the veil begins to fray, Wren finds herself tangled in a web of desire and duty. Kael’s touch still sets her blood on fire, and the child she never told him about—a daughter who can see ghosts—binds them in ways neither can deny. The impossible choice: save the town and let her sister’s spirit fade forever, or sacrifice Kael to bring Lily back—and risk damning them all. In a world where love and death are two sides of the same coin, Wren must decide which ghost she’s willing to let go. Tropes: enemies-to-lovers, secret baby, forced proximity, small-town curse, touch-her-and-die devotion, resurrection forbidden magic, morally gray heroine, death-touched hero. The Bone Crown Chronicles begins with A Court of Ash and Bone, and continues with A Throne of Thorns and Tears, where the veil’s collapse threatens to consume everything Wren and Kael have built. Read on for a heart-stopping conclusion that will leave you breathless.Perfect for readers who love **Harley Laroux** and **Liv Zander**.
