Bitterbloom

Bitterbloom

by Teagan Olivia King

Some flowers bloom in sunlight. Others bloom in blood.

In a kingdom shaped by magic, sacrifice, and ancient tradition, one young woman finds herself entangled in a dangerous fate she never asked for. As dark secrets buried within the court begin to surface, the fragile balance between power and survival begins to fracture.

When loyalties are tested and forbidden truths emerge, she must decide whether to follow the path laid out for her—or risk everything to rewrite her destiny.

But in a world where beauty hides thorns and every bloom carries a cost, freedom may demand more than she’s prepared to give.

Dark, atmospheric, and spellbinding, Bitterbloom weaves together magic, intrigue, and romance into a haunting tale of power, sacrifice, and the price of breaking fate.
