The Hollow Crown Kindle Edition

"Justice without truth is vanity. A crown without wisdom is an empty shell."In a valley carved between jagged mountains and whispering forests, a small village clings to life under the watchful eyes of a silent sentinel — the Golem, a guardian of clay, bound by the sacred word Truth. But lies are cunning, and in the shadows prowls the Wolf, a creature as old as the mountains and as cruel as frost, who knows that fear and deception can destroy what strength cannot.When rumours spread, carried by the Blind Crier’s twisted tongue and sharpened by the envy of hollow kings, the people turn against the very protector who has kept them safe. Amidst this storm of treachery and doubt stands the Weeping Maiden, whose tears may yet hold the power to awaken a truth greater than fear.The Hollow Crown is a modern fable, rich with the timeless moral clarity of the Brothers Grimm and the lyrical depth of contemporary allegory. Catherine Perez Shakdam weaves a tale of courage, deceit, and the enduring power of truth — a story as relevant today as it would have been in the age of kings and whispered legends. Read more
