Kiss of the Hollow King - Zakaria Benazzouz
Zakaria Benazzouz is a fantasy author who believes that the most compelling monsters are not those who are born evil, but those who are forged by sorrow. With a passion for gothic atmospheres, complex character psychology, and the kind of slow-burn romance that feels earned, he crafts stories that explore the grey spaces between light and darkness. His debut novel, "Kiss of the Hollow King," is a testament to his love for these themes, weaving a tale of a defiant human sacrifice and a broken, ancient king in a world made of forgotten dreams. When he is not building beautifully sorrowful worlds, Zakaria enjoys exploring mythology and contemplating what truly lies in the shadows.
GENRE: Dark Fantasy Romance Subgenres/Themes: Gothic Romance, Enemies to Lovers, Slow Burn, Supernatural & Paranormal Romance.

Elara is sent as a sacrifice to the feared Hollow King. But the lord of the shadow realm is no monster—he's a broken man haunted by ancient grief. And she is not the docile victim he expected. Trapped in his dying world, their bond becomes a dangerous dance between life and death. He sees her as a flaw in his order; she sees him as a man worth saving. Can her light mend his broken world, or will his darkness consume her first?
