The fifth and final novel in the Five Crowns of Okrith series.

Can Carys have it all? Can she balance the competition of the trials, to win the Eastern Court crown, and the chance at love … with her hated nemesis.

Carys Hilgaard has grown tremendously through her years; no longer is she the vapid, prejudicial fae who drowned herself in wine. At least, she wants to believe that’s true.

So, when the time comes for the Eastern Court trials to commence, her mind is set on one objective: win the crown and become the people’s queen.

But the gods have different plans. Lord Ersan Almah, her ex-boyfriend and fated mate, has entered the competition, vying for the kingdom himself―and hoping it’s enough to cure his heart after losing Carys.

When incandescent hearts rekindle for a second chance at destined love, Carys must learn to let her lingering past go in order to protect her kingdom, the people she cares for, and fight for hope … if not, everything could collapse into ashes.

The crown is calling Carys’ name, but can her head bear the weight when passion sets her heart racing?

"The House by the Cemetery involves everything that a horror aficionado could ever want-an undead witch, comic relief, a haunted house dedicated to obscure and not-so obscure horror films, and lots and lots of gore...Indeed, The House by the Cemetery could easily be transcribed into an action-packed screenplay" - The New York Journal of Books Rumor has it that the abandoned house by the cemetery is haunted by the ghost of a witch. But rumors won't stop carpenter Mike Kostner from rehabbing the place as a haunted house attraction. Soon he'll learn that fresh wood and nails can't keep decades of rumors down. There are noises in the walls, and fresh blood on the floor: secrets that would be better not to discover. And behind the rumors is a real ghost who will do whatever it takes to ensure the house reopens. She needs people to fill her house on Halloween. There's a dark, horrible ritual to fulfill. Because while the witch may have been dead... she doesn't intend to stay that way. FLAME TREE PRESS is the new fiction imprint of Flame Tree Publishing.
