Daughter of Ash and Night In the vampire-ruled kingdom of Varneth, where humans are little more than pawns in a deadly game of power, Aliana Everan has always been nothing-an unwanted daughter, a shadow in her father's household, a stain upon his noble name. Born to a concubine and despised by her stepmother, she has spent her life enduring cruelty in silence. But when she is falsely accused of treason and sentenced to death, fate takes a dark turn. Instead of dying, she is bound by blood to the most feared man in the kingdom-Kaelith Veyne, the forsaken prince. The firstborn son of the vampire king, Kaelith should have been heir to the throne. But his mother was a witch-an unforgivable sin in Varneth. Branded as an outcast, he was cast aside in favor of his younger, purer brother. Yet, the magic in his veins makes him more powerful than any royal would dare to admit. Now, fate has tied them together-an unwanted human girl and a cursed prince. Thrown into the treacherous world of vampire politics, Aliana must learn to navigate a court that thrives on deception and bloodlust. As whispers of war stir in the shadows, she soon realizes that being Kaelith's mate does not mean protection-it means becoming a target. And as enemies close in from all sides, she must answer one question: Is Kaelith her salvation... or her doom? Betrayal. Blood. Power. A love that could bring a kingdom to its knees. This is the story of a girl who was meant to die, and the prince who was never meant to rule.

Centuries ago, humanity's greed shattered the balance of the world. Betrayed and slaughtered, the elves vanished into legend, their sacred tree, Elaureth, cursing the royal bloodline and dooming mankind to fear and mistrust. Magic faded, and with it, the world's last remnants of peace. Now, in the quiet village of Mosswick, young Eleanor stumbles upon a mysterious blue gem buried deep within a cave. Its beauty is mesmerizing, but its discovery comes at a devastating cost-an eerie curse befalls her village, trapping its people in a nightmarish fate. The only ones untouched are Eleanor, her mother figure, Marianne, also known as Granny Pie, and three enigmatic travelers drawn to the gem for reasons of their own. Forced to leave everything behind, Eleanor embarks on a journey with four unlikely companions: two secretive elves, a rebellious noble, and a cursed prince whose past is shrouded in tragedy. Together, they must uncover the truth behind the curse, face the forces that destroyed magic, and challenge the very fate of the kingdom. But some truths were meant to stay buried. Some curses are not so easily broken. And Eleanor's journey is only the beginning.
