Hallowed Games by C. N. Crawford (Paperback)

Every year, a hundred cursed individuals are forced to compete in deadly trials where only one survives. For the girl known as the Touch, every brush of her fingertips brings death—until she meets Maelor, a mysterious hunter immune to her lethal power.

As the trials begin, she discovers that Maelor harbours a secret of his own: he is already dead. A vampire both dangerously alluring and impossibly strong, he draws her in even as the world seeks to destroy them both. Magic is forbidden, mercy is rare, and the god who rules their fate will grant favour to only one survivor.

Together, they must navigate a landscape of treachery, blood, and forbidden desire. With each challenge, their connection deepens, forcing her to confront the power she wields and the possibility of love in a world designed for death. Can Maelor guide her toward becoming the chosen one, or will their passion lead to her ruin?

Hallowed Games is a dark romantasy filled with high-stakes trials, deadly curses, and a forbidden romance that ignites even in the shadows. Fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses, Hunger Games, and Serpent and the Wings of Night will be captivated by this thrilling, seductive, and unforgettable story.
