Crown of Ruin by Grace Yarrow

Crown of Ruin contains mature content including depictions of graphic violence, and is therefore recommended for readers 17+.

Two centuries have passed since Lenore Ashworth sacrificed herself to strengthen the cursed chains that hold the dragon god imprisoned beneath Eldermere Castle. Her statue weeps marble tears in the shadow rose garden while Thorne Ravenscroft tends her memory with the devotion of the eternally damned.

Until…

Betrayed, humiliated, and burning with fury, Elspeth Hawthorne arrives at Eldermere Castle with nothing left to lose and everything to destroy.

She expects dust and ruin. She finds Eldermere Castle waiting, alive with impossible enchantments. Ghostly hands dress her, the rooms change on a whim, gargoyles sharpen their claws in devotion, and the marble statues in the rose garden weep. Deep beneath the castle, a stone dragon grows warm beneath her touch. His voice finds her in shadows, worship and hunger twined as one. The world warns her to be afraid. The castle adores her rage. And the dragon answers her fury with fire of his own.

The world warns her to be afraid. The castle adores her rage. And when emissaries from distant realms come to claim its power, Elspeth answers with fire, ruin, and the promise of a crown.

Dravik, the Devourer of Stars, primordial dragon of shadow and starlight, should have destroyed worlds. Instead, he offers her a choice.

But crowns forged from the darkness between galaxies cut deep…some curses are meant to be broken. Some monsters are meant to be freed.

Let the old world tremble. The Queen of Infinite Night is coming, and she’s bringing her dragon with her.

About the Author
Dark Romantasy Author | Lover of Gothic Decay & Forbidden Kisses

Grace Yarrow writes hauntingly romantic tales where love is a blade, shadows whisper secrets, and every crown comes with a curse. When she isn’t wandering mist-shrouded manors in her imagination, she can be found sipping black tea with too much honey, collecting antique keys (just in case one opens a portal), and arguing with her cat about whether haunted libraries need ghosts to be interesting.

Her stories are for those who crave love stories drenched in moonlight and danger—where the monsters are just as likely to steal your heart as your soul.

Currently residing in a creaky old house that may or may not be sentient.

Featured Book: Completely Opposite by Nellie Holloday

Later, after the dishes are done and the house falls into that soft, sleepy hush, I step out onto the porch. The air smells like pine and a hint of grilled corn, and somewhere a coyote yips into the night before settling back into silence.
I sink into the porch swing, pulling my knees close, and stare out at the stars. They’re sharp and scattered tonight, like someone flung a handful of diamonds across black velvet.
Emma’s words from earlier echo in my head: “You can’t outrun something that’s already in your heart.”
I think about Maisie’s tearful eyes, the way Jack’s voice cracked just a little when he said don’t leave us, and how his hand brushed mine when he helped clear the table, quick, accidental, but enough to make something deep inside me ache.
I close my eyes, and in the silence, the truth settles heavy and sure.
I want to belong here, more than I should, more than I planned.
But wanting something this much only stirs the fear that surrounds me. And I can’t help wondering… am I strong enough to face it?
