A ring that binds souls. A love that defies death. A secret that could shatter them both. When Danielle receives a breathtaking Ruby engagement ring from her fiancé, Justin, she's swept into a fairytale, until the nightmares begin. The ring is icy against her skin, whispers slither through the dark, and in her dreams, a tortured spirit with piercing silver eyes watches her, his voice a velvet murmur: "You've come back to me." Alistair has been trapped in the ring for two hundred years, his soul shackled by a curse born of betrayal. The moment the sapphire touches Danielle's skin, something awakens-a whisper of forgotten passion, the echo of a blade being drawn, the lingering scent of blood and roses. As Danielle uncovers the Blackthorn family's gruesome legacy, she realizes Justin's proposal was no accident. The ring is a weapon, and she's the key to its power. Justin's family guards it for reasons far more sinister than tradition. And Alistair, the ghostly stranger who ignites her heart, refuses to let her become another victim. Their bond deepens with every shared dream, every phantom touch-yet breaking the curse could mean losing him for eternity. A seductive blend of Gothic mystery and timeless romance, "The Ruby Ring" is for fans of "The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue" and "Hades x Persephone" retellings. Will Danielle and Alistair rewrite fate, or will the shadows of the past consume them?

The first time Marina met the devil, she bled for him. She had known the stories. The warnings. "Never summon the dark ones." "Never offer them your name." "Never make a deal you cannot escape." And yet, she had done all three. The chapel had been empty-abandoned by gods and men alike. But when she pressed her bleeding palm to the stone, whispering words that should have never been spoken, the world itself shuddered. And he came. A voice, like smoke curling around her throat. A presence, darker than the void itself. He watched her, crimson eyes gleaming like embers in the abyss. "You are either very desperate... or very, very foolish." Marina had not flinched. She had nothing left to lose. She had thought she could control this. That power was worth any price. But as the shadows closed in, as his hand reached for hers, as the mark burned into her skin, sealing her fate- She realized too late. Some deals cannot be broken. And the devil always collects.
