The Hollowed Heart: A Romantasy of Broken Promises and Mended Magic: Some hearts break to make room for greater magic

💔 Elara is a heart-mender, a rare magical healer who can repair broken emotions—but she cannot heal her own heart, hollowed out years ago when her first love disappeared without explanation. Kaelen returns to the kingdom as the legendary Shadow-Walker, a warrior changed by dark magic and haunted by the promise he broke to Elara. When a mysterious plague begins turning citizens' hearts to stone, they are forced into an uneasy alliance: only Elara's healing magic combined with Kaelen's shadow-walking abilities can trace the sickness to its source. As they journey through forgotten realms and face their shared past, old wounds reopen and new passions ignite. But Kaelen carries a devastating secret about why he truly left—one that could shatter Elara's magic forever. In a race against time to save their kingdom, they must learn that some promises break to make way for deeper truths, and the most powerful magic often grows from the places we thought were broken beyond repair.
