"Bound by blood. Claimed by chaos. Crowned in sin." When fledgling witch Nyah Carter tries to summon the spirit of her late grandmother, she accidentally tears a hole in the veil between worlds-and unleashes Malrik, a devastatingly seductive demon king. One of the Seven Rulers of the Underworld, Malrik has hunted her bloodline for centuries. Now, he finally has her... and he won't let go. As Nyah is drawn deeper into Malrik's world of lust, power, and shadows, she's forced into a dark bargain that transforms her body, her soul-and her destiny. Trapped between the remains of her humanity and the hunger of her growing demonic nature, Nyah must learn to navigate a court full of monsters, a love built on manipulation, and a child prophesied to inherit an empire of fire. But as the underworld burns with war and betrayal, one truth rises above all: She may be his bride, but she was never meant to be anyone's pawn.

In the empire of Bono Manso, beauty is built from grief - and emotion is treason. Toni Bassali, a human of the enslaved Inritus class, has one purpose: to infiltrate the Hollow Queen's court as an Echo Bride and destroy the Revenant commander who murdered her parents. But the man she's meant to seduce, Kael, is haunted by the dead - and her presence silences the voices in his mind. In the shadows, her sister Liya leads the resistance, bound by vengeance and an uneasy alliance with Kofi, a Veilborn assassin who vanishes between mirrors. Together, the sisters move through a world of gilded cruelty, where love is a curse, loyalty burns, and rebellion whispers through ash and veil alike. When Toni's heart becomes her weapon, and Liya's faith becomes her undoing, the empire will finally remember what it means to fear the living. A romantasy of fire, bloodlines, and forbidden devotion - inspired by African mythology and the ruinous beauty of power.
