The Crown of Bones by Maya Unadkat:

A Healer who vowed to protect her people. A prince of fire who is supposed to be dead. And an ancient crown that could doom the kingdom.

Divya has dedicated her life to helping the villagers of Mahara, but with Bone Magicians leaving a trail of suffering across the kingdom, she knows the only chance her people have is for her to train at the Healer School. So when her mother summons a priest to seal a betrothal she never agreed to, she runs.

But when she meets an injured stranger on the road, she knows she cannot leave him behind.

He's guarded, infuriating, and definitely lying about who he is. But the more she heals him, the harder he is to ignore.

As Divya fights her way through deadly trials, the stranger hides in plain sight. Because the people who wanted him dead can never know he survived.

To save her people, Divya must trust the one person who is lying to her. And he must decide who he is, before the crown claims them both.

The Crown of Bones is a spice-free romantasy of hidden identities, slow-burn trust, and the courage to be saved.
