Winds of Ruin by Mariet Kay

A king cursed to sleep. A kiss destined to wake him.

Elsedora Lamoreaux cannot give up now, not when retribution lies just beyond her grasp. She is no stranger to loss; her family, her home, and her soulmate were all tragically taken from her. While searching for relics to save the realms, she discovers a peculiar mirror—ancient and thrumming with power. The pane allows her to communicate with the sleep-cursed King Mattock. For years, her adoration for him grows and eventually forces her to question whether she is truly moving forward, or running from the past.

King Emmerick Mattock’s mind cages the Death Origin, who claws for a way to escape. With no known enchantment to break the king free of the curse, Emmerick’s sense of self slips away. Soon he will fall into torturous, eternal restlessness. When Elsedora reaches him through the void, it is the first time he allows himself to hope.
