Description
A slow-burn romantic fantasy steeped in Celtic mythology—perfect for readers who love strong, determined heroines, wounded fae heroes, Highland rebellion, and enemies forced into dangerous loyalty.
Five crowns. Two reluctant lovers. One throne between them.
Tropes: Enemies to lovers • Slow burn → high chemistry and a bit of spice • Fate-touched romance and forbidden love • He falls first • Immortal hero • Smart, strong heroine • Dual POV (1st person) • Celtic mythology • Atmospheric Highland setting • Immersive world-building • Magical creatures • Found family • Emotional intimacy • Unique fae and elemental magic • High stakes
Flora Domhnall will do anything to protect her Highland clan and keep them neutral in a war between immortal courts. But when she finds a dying warrior—one of the rebel king’s Riders—bleeding in her woods, every choice becomes treason.
Chyr is a Rider of the Anvar’thaine, an immortal bound by ancient oaths and hunted by a ruthless fae queen. A mysterious wound is dragging him toward death, and the doorway back to his world is closing. To save both realms, he must rely on the mortal woman who has every reason to hate him.
Stalked through burning moorland and haunted by Flora’s awakening magic, they must decide whether love is worth the ruin it promises.
Honor is everything—until it isn’t. Then you hunt for the one chance left.
"As a massive fan of Outlander, I went into this story hoping for a touch of sweeping romance, aching emotion, and lush world-building — and I was not disappointed. In fact, the similarities were uncanny in the best possible way. There’s the same richness of setting, the same sense of fate-touched love, and that slow, simmering tension between two characters who feel destined for each other, even as the world threatens to pull them apart." —Lilith’s Library
ACOTAR meets Outlander in a haunting romantasy—perfect for fans of Sarah Maas (early ACOTAR), Diana Gabaldon, Rachel Gillig, Devney Perry, Penn Cole, Rebecca Yarros, and Carissa Broadbent.
Advance Praise
"Martina Boone’s Five Crowns is everything you want from a sweeping Highland fantasy romance—lush, perilous, and charged with emotion. Set against the backdrop of a fae war spilling into the mortal Highlands, the story balances folklore and firelight intimacy with the raw grit of survival and duty." —Early Reader
"The story is beautifully revealed but it's the chemistry between Flora and Chyr that kept me engaged. She is a fragile human, but her heart is mighty, even when her self-doubt and fear keep her on pins and needles. Chyr admires her strength, as any intelligent man should, and protects her well-being and choices even when he realizes her destiny is a dangerous one. The slow burn romance is very well-executed, and the plot twist at the end is a cliffhanger moment." — Early Reader
"Flora Domhnall is the kind of heroine readers crave: pragmatic, fiercely loyal, and unwilling to be anyone’s pawn. When she saves Chyr, a wounded immortal rebel, her world collides with an ancient conflict that could destroy both their realms. What follows is a slow-burn, high-stakes journey that threads tension through every stolen glance and impossible choice." —Early Reader
"Set in a Celtic fantasy world inspired by Scottish history, this epic fantasy romance is absolutely amazing. Martina Boone's descriptions of the hauntingly beautiful highlands are lyrical and vivid...Flora is such an inspiring main character: resilient, wise, courageous. I love her deep connection to animals, the land, and the elements, as well as her kind heart." —Early Reader
"You can’t help but admire these two great main characters. They both have all the qualities I would wish for in a strong story line like this. Compassionate, strong, fierce and loyal with a deep connection to each other that matters, but they also have plenty of conflicted emotions and loyalties that may not align that they both must navigate. The depth of writing makes these characters feel like they will jump right off the page at you." —Early Reader
