The Magic of the Nightingale

Zeera_Jay
Karina was an outcast, banished from the kingdom of Blackenroot because of the voice that dwelled inside her. A voice that could heal or destroy. A voice they claimed belonged to a siren, cursed and dangerous. She lived in the mountains, hidden from the world, with only her aging guardian for comfort—and a deep yearning to belong. But when the old woman falls deathly ill, Karina is forced to return to the land that cast her out in search of a rare green rose that could save her. There, in the forbidden garden, her song draws out more than the plants—it awakens something… someone. Prince Hereon of Blackenroot has long buried his emotions under stone. Cold, dutiful, and haunted by an unseen beast within, he has no use for softness—until he hears her. Her voice stirs the cracks in his soul. It terrifies him… and yet he cannot let her go. To save the woman who raised her, Karina agrees to his impossible request: to live within the palace, hidden behind a mask, and use her voice to soothe the shadows inside him. But some songs bring light. Others awaken monsters. And in a palace where power is deadly and secrets are buried deep, the nightingale’s magic may either heal a prince—or unravel a kingdom.
