What The Crown Forgot

What the Crown Forgot
Book One of The Hollow Chronicles

He helps others forget their pain. He just never wondered who made him forget his own.

In the kingdom of Veyr, memories can be surrendered.

Grief. Trauma. Heartbreak. The moments too painful to carry.

They are taken by Remembrancers and sealed inside crystalline Hollows, allowing people to walk away from the memories they can no longer bear.

Elian Marrow has spent his life believing this is mercy.

As a Remembrancer, Elian has devoted himself to preserving the delicate boundary between what people remember and what they choose to leave behind. His life is orderly. Predictable.

Until a dying woman gives him a memory that should not exist.

A memory of him.

Suddenly, pieces of a life Elian doesn't remember begin breaking through the walls of his mind: a burning estate, a white-flowered tree, a forgotten name-and a woman named Caelia who looks at him as though she has spent years mourning a man who is still alive.

She knows him.

She remembers him.

And once, she loved him.

As Elian follows the trail left by the man he used to be, he discovers that his missing memories are only the beginning. Someone has been rewriting the history of Veyr, burying truths inside forbidden Hollows and erasing anyone who remembers too much.

And the deeper Elian searches, the more dangerous one question becomes:

Why was he made to forget?

Because beneath the kingdom lies a secret older than the Crown itself.

Something is waking.

Something remembers Elian.

And after centuries of silence, it wants him back.

Some memories are surrendered.
Some are stolen.
And some can bring kingdoms to their knees.

What the Crown Forgot is the first book in The Hollow Chronicles, an epic fantasy romance filled with forbidden memory, lost identity, royal secrets, ancient magic, political intrigue, second-chance love, and a mystery that grows darker with every truth remembered.
