Kingdom of Ghosts: A Novel of Love and Royal War.

Kingdom of Ghosts is an epic tale of destiny, forgotten bloodlines, and the dangerous cost of divine power.

In the ancient Kingdom of Billard, the sacred Festival of Rhododendron governs the fate of the land. Each year, the people gather to honor the Oracle—an immortal force believed to protect the kingdom and guide its rulers. But beneath the songs, sacrifices, and rain-soaked celebrations lies a truth buried in blood, betrayal, and forbidden secrets.

Rhododendron is a young man raised in obscurity by his widowed mother, Abigail, in a quiet village far from the palace walls. Though humble in birth, he is marked by strange coincidences—his name mirrors that of the kingdom’s Oracle, and his presence stirs unrest wherever he goes. When a chance encounter at the palace well draws the attention of Princess Felicia, the fragile balance between royalty and destiny begins to crack.

As Rhododendron presses for answers, Abigail is forced to unveil a haunting past: the rise of King Billard, a warrior who became ruler through honor and strength; the mysterious queen whose divine origin reshaped the kingdom’s faith; and the tragic chain of betrayal that led to war, ruin, and exile. What the kingdom worships as tradition is rooted in an ancient covenant—one that was broken, and whose consequences still haunt the land.

Unknown to the people, the ghosts of old kings, fallen warriors, and silenced truths linger over Billard. Power has changed hands, history has been rewritten, and the Oracle’s shadow stretches far beyond the palace altar. As Rhododendron’s true heritage begins to surface, he is pulled toward a destiny entwined with the throne, the gods, and the sins of the past.

Kingdom of Ghosts weaves myth, royalty, love, and vengeance into a richly imagined world where identity is dangerous, truth is sacred, and the dead are never truly gone.
