HIS SPORES BENEATH HER SKIN

Flower girl Mara awakens royal spores from underground king Lucian. Her sister Celeste, trained seven years to be queen, burns with jealousy. Every wound Mara inflicts on herself wounds Lucian. Royal forces try to sever their bond. Mara finds her own light, reconciles with her sister, and together they destroy the tyranny. She walks into his palace—ready to love as an equal.
