She was raised to betray him. He was forced to marry her. Neither expected to crave the other.

When his reckless brother claims the Dark Fae Queen’s captive necromancer, Dragon Prince Rhydor must wed her daughter, Princess Elowyn, or watch his war-shattered kingdom burn. Their union is no fairy tale, it’s a weapon, forged to keep dragons leashed and necromancy bound to the Fae crown.

In the glittering, merciless court of Lunareth, Elowyn wears her mask as skillfully as her smile. She was bred to serve her mother’s schemes, yet she’s beginning to hunger for the one man she should never love: her dragon husband. And when his fire collides with her twilight, their nights ignite into something perilous, addictive, impossible to resist.

But desire in a realm of daggers is as deadly as betrayal. Secrets fester. Loyalties crack. And when a sacrifice is made to awaken an ancient power entombed in shadow, a political marriage may no longer be enough to keep both their realms from falling.

Fans of Fourth Wing, ACOTAR, and The Serpent and the Wings of Night will devour this sizzling romantasy filled with:
✨ Enemies forced to marry
✨ A dark Fae court of masks and lies
✨ Forbidden desire that ignites fire and shadow
✨ A necromancer too dangerous to free, too vital to kill
✨ A vengeful ancient power rising from the tomb

Be swept into a world of passion and betrayal where love can either save a kingdom—or bring it to ruin.
