He was the Hollow King, enslaved by a queen's enchantment. I was the Ghost, sworn to save him. But the bond that freed us may have doomed the world. My king, Kael, doesn't remember the year he spent as a puppet. He doesn't remember the false heir he praised, or the orders he gave that shattered his own kingdom. He only remembers me—a secret buried so deep in his soul, not even dark magic could erase it. I used that memory to break his chains and expose the traitor queen. But our victory was a trap. We didn't just shatter an enchantment; we severed an Obsidian Tether, an ancient binding that used Kael's life force to seal away a primordial terror. Now, the monster is free. To stop it, we must journey into the heart of the corruption that created it. Kael is haunted by the sins of his hollow hands, and I am hunted by the ghosts of my lethal past. Our only weapons are a love that has already survived hell, and a bond that our enemy is desperate to corrupt. Because the tether that once bound a king... now binds us together. And the thing we unleashed wants to consume that connection, feast on our memories, and leave the world as hollow as the king I fought to save. A dark romantic fantasy perfect for readers of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros, THE OBSIDIAN TETHER explores the cost of salvation, the scars of trauma, and the terrifying, binding power of a love that refuses to break.
