The Hanging Heart
About the book
A heart-pounding, epic-stakes romantasy for fans of Callie Hart and Sarah J. Maas.
Magic is dying until a human girl accidentally resurrects a villainous Fae king, unlocking the key to saving her realm, but cursing another. With ruthless Fae, endless yearning, and devastating twists, you'll be wondering who is a villain until the very last page.
An instrument of chaos. Of fate...
Elorie has never known anything beyond the magic-void prison island of Alyssium. She tends to the dead who are sent to the shore for burning, while living among the humans who help guard the Fae prison.
Until one day, she rests her hands on a dead Fae prisoner's chest and accidentally wakes the most lethal warrior in the constellation of realms.
Fascinated by Elorie's unique ability to resurrect such power, the King summons her to the Ley Court. He declares her to be his chosen, promising a union that will restore magic to a dying land.
But the Fae she woke has other plans.
As the rightful heir to a rival crown, Wilder doesn't want to heal the kingdom that locked him in a cell for a century, he wants to destroy it. And to do so, he'll claim Elorie for himself.
Except magic can't be stolen, only offered. And in a war between crowns, Elorie is the only one who can choose how to bind her untamed power.
If only the same rules applied to her heart.
Our take
Elorie has only known life on a magic-void prison island until she accidentally resurrects a lethal Fae prisoner and becomes central to a fight over dying magic, rival crowns, and untamed power, with a 4.3-star average from more than 1,000 Goodreads ratings. A strong pick for readers who like fae romantasy with resurrection magic, dangerous heirs, court conflict, and yearning.
