A Throne in Bloom
Author: J.K. Ross
When Elle Hawthorne inherits her grandmother's Victorian estate, she doesn't expect to fall through a crack in reality.
Trapped in dying Wynmire, Elle bears the Root-marks her grandmother once carried—golden vines spreading across her skin with uncontrollable power. Every faction wants to use her to save or dominate the realm.
Her only protection: Kaelren, the failed prince whose corrupted body bears the scars of trying to claim her power. As Elle's marks spread and her humanity dissolves, she must choose: become destiny's weapon, or forge her own path, even if it costs everything.
Dark romantic fantasy where Alice in Wonderland meets The Cruel Prince.
About J.K. Ross
J.K. Ross writes dark romantasy where magic has consequences, institutions are meant to be challenged, and survival is never guaranteed.
When she’s not writing, J.K. is fueled by Dr Pepper and a love of travel. She’s perpetually drawn to the gothic architecture of Europe—beautiful landscapes, cathedrals, old stone corridors, and places that feel heavy with history.
She writes best at ungodly hours under the supervision of her demanding coworkers: a very professional Goldendoodle named Ranger and two Maine Coons known as Grand Duchess Freya and Sir Chippendale. J.K. lives in Arkansas with her husband and two children who are her biggest supporters.
