About this audiobook

Her mission: seduce the king. Steal his heart. Not fall in love with it. Kaela Duskhollow knows the rules of survival. Trust no one. Owe nothing. Never let the fae see your real face. Half-fae, scraping by in the mortal slums, she's kept herself and her younger brother Finn alive through sheer will and careful lies. Then a fae curse burrows into Finn's veins and starts devouring him from the inside. The only cure belongs to Lord Ashwick — rebel noble, viper's smile, unthinkable price. He wants Kaela to infiltrate the Hollow Court, get close to the blood-cursed king, and return with his still-beating heart. The deadline is Finn's last breath. She accepts. She has no choice. But the Hollow King is not what she expected. Behind the bone-white antlers and the court that feasts on suffering, Riven is a creature of aching solitude. Bound to a throne he never wanted. Slowly being petrified by the blood-magic that is supposed to make him powerful. His court is a labyrinth of silken cruelty, but his attention — sharp, perceptive, unnervingly tender — sees straight through every mask Kaela has spent years perfecting. He looks at her like she's the first real thing he's touched in centuries. And Kaela starts to understand why. Ashwick's deadline is closing in. Finn's breaths grow shallower by the hour. The court's scheming nobles are circling. And deep in the Hollow Court's archives, something surfaces about Kaela's own bloodline — a forgotten lineage, a magic she never knew she carried, and a prophecy she's been outrunning without knowing it existed. Complete the mission and become the monster she's pretending to be. Or defy the rebellion and watch her brother die. Blood of the Hollow Court is a pulse-pounding and emotionally immersive epic fantasy about betrayal, lost heirs, found family, morally grey kings, and a forbidden love forged in the most dangerous court imaginable. Perfect for readers who love fae court fantasy, enemies-to-lovers romance, spy heroines, slow-burn tension, and epic fantasy adventure in the tradition of Mark Lawrence and Leigh Bardugo. An epic standalone fantasy of magic, sacrifice, and destiny.
