In the silent depths of Volterra, where stone remembers every scream, Elira, a half-immortal oracle with clouded eyes lives under lock and ritual. Her visions are cryptic, cursed, and often too true. The Volturi call her The Black Bride, a creature to be feared and used.
To bind her powers to the throne, a marriage is arranged: Caius, cold and calculating, ancient as war, is chosen to wed the girl he calls a liability. But when her visions begin to whisper secrets only he remembers of death, betrayal, and a future soaked in ash, Caius finds himself haunted by a bride he never wanted and cannot let go of.
She sees his ruin. He swears to rewrite fate.
Bound by crown and curse, they become prophecy's undoing, or its final victims.
He was promised a queen, he got a vision in human skin.
