He became king the night hid sword turned to ash.
His father-murdered.
His fiancée-dead by her own hand.
Her family-slaughtered on his command.
Now crowned in blood , King Damon of York rules with the silence, steel, and unrelenting cruelty. A kingdom soaked in fear. Women stripped of choice. Mercy , outlawed. Love , buried.
But the past doesn't stay dead.
Cassian Valemont, the last surviving heir of the house Damon destroyed, returns from exile cloaked in secrets. He comes to save a friend from a forced marriage-but instead steps into the jaws of the beast who murdered his family.
Only Damon doesn't know who he is.
And Cassian doesn't expect the devil to wear such sorrow beneath his crown.
Vengeance twists into obsession.
Desire festers beneath betrayal.
And in the cold halls of a haunted palace, two ruined souls begin to burn.
