The Dreadstone King

Allira Maplestaff wants nothing to do with the Dreadstone Tombs, a cursed labyrinth where treasure hunters go to die. To save her family home, she reluctantly joins a doomed expedition as the thirteenth warrior. She expects to face monstrous traps and lethal shadows, but she never expects to find an unlikely ally waiting in the dark.

Josten Ironheart, the spectral Dreadstone King, has spent seventy years guarding his realm against greedy invaders. He is a vengeful spirit defined by his ghostly rage, yet his icy resolve crumbles when he encounters the one woman who treats him like a person rather than a prize. What begins as a mission to scare away an intruder blossoms into a forbidden connection that defies the boundary between the living and the dead.

This gripping ghost story expertly weaves a second-chance romance into a high-stakes adventure. As the expedition turns deadly, Allira and Josten must form a fragile found-family to survive the leader of the invaders. If you are searching for a paranormal romance that balances chilling atmosphere with heart-wrenching emotional stakes, this tale of a skeletal king and his unexpected savior is the perfect addition to your bookshelf.
