A soulful epic for those who love their fantasy with longing, lyricism, and knife-edged grace-perfect for readers of Tasha Suri, Alix E. Harrow, and N.K. Jemisin. Her curse holds her captive. Her choices could set her free-or end the world. Kharis longs for freedom from the curse that chains her to an ancient demon, a fate written long before she drew breath. However, breaking her curse won't be an easy task. Wielding her magic is to risk losing herself-body, mind, and soul. She must free her sister from the curse's hand while navigating a treacherous world where her brother and uncle battle to control her power, all while a seductive voice caresses her mind.
A Thoughtful, Immersive Epic Fantasy, perfect for fans of Jacqueline Carey and R.F. Kuang-a tale where political intrigue collides with magic and existential dread.
Enter the world of The Dandelion Tree, Part One, a gripping epic dark fantasy that unfolds with the patience of a well-told legend. It weaves a tale of intrigue, sacrifice, and the quiet strength found in the choices that shape our flawed heroine. This book is ideal for readers who seek depth over spectacle, layered storytelling over haste, and a flawed heroine whose journey is as much about understanding herself as it is about the world around her.
