She was never meant to be free. But she might be the kingdom's only hope.
Raised in the castle of Lord Elban, Judah is an orphan who has never known freedom — bound by duty and treated as little more than a servant, she dreams of escape. But when dark magic, political intrigue, and rebellion threaten the kingdom, Judah finds herself at the centre of a dangerous struggle that will test her courage, loyalty, and heart.
Rich in gothic atmosphere and sweeping world-building, The Unwilling is a character-driven dark fantasy that draws you deep into a world of castle secrets and desperate rebellion. Trending among book lovers who devoured The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon, The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen, or The Bone Season series.
Rated 3.7/5 on Goodreads — "A sweeping, character-driven fantasy with gothic undertones."
