The Bone Orchard
Charm is a witch, and she is alone. The last of a line of conquered necromantic workers, now confined within the yard of regrown bone trees at Orchard House, and the secrets of their marrow. But now, Charm is also the only person who can keep an empire together, as the Emperor summons her to his deathbed, and charges her with choosing which of his awful, faithless sons will carry on the empire - by discovering which one is responsible for his own murder.
Charm must choose. Her dead Emperor's will or the whispers of her own ghosts. Print run 75,000.

I saw this rec on tiktok, and the person suggesting hyped it up quite a bit - but I personally struggled a bit with this one. The overall story was good and interesting, the characters were great and had a lot of depth. The beginning was really confusing to get into and I found the overall story to be pretty slow. Theres also some triggers you should be weary of going into this, its not spicy at all and anything smexual thats even hinted at behind closed doors is pretty fucked up. The story was complex and I enjoyed the light magical elements as well as the bone ghosts.
