Betrothed to the Dark King

Duty binds them together. Secrets threaten to tear them apart.

Princess Elena has spent her life preparing to be queen-intelligent, compassionate, and unyielding in her beliefs, she dreams of a kingdom united through kindness and strength. But her vision is tested when she's thrust into a marriage with King Aeron, the enigmatic ruler of a fractured and shadowed land. Known as the Dark King, his icy demeanor and fearsome reputation conceal a past shrouded in betrayal and loss.

As Elena steps into Aeron's court, she discovers a kingdom on the brink of ruin and a man whose heart has long been locked away. Determined to prove herself as a worthy queen-and perhaps something more-Elena faces courtly intrigue, deadly secrets, and a king who sees her as nothing more than a pawn.

But the longer they are bound together, the more their fates intertwine. Can Elena uncover the truth behind Aeron's darkness and help him reclaim his humanity, or will her own light be extinguished by the shadows that surround him?

In a world where trust is a fragile weapon, and love is an unthinkable risk, two hearts collide in a battle for a future neither dared to dream of.
