Celestial Aubade

"She vowed to kill the devil. Instead, she became his queen."

At fifteen, Ianthe whispered a desperate prayer into the night - not knowing that what would answer her wasn't an angel, but a monster. Lord Deimos Cahir, the Night King, ruler of shadows and sovereign of the damned, emerged from the abyss to claim what he has sought for centuries: her.

Ianthe has always dreamed of him - a dark figure with scarlet eyes and a voice like velvet and smoke. She feared him. She despised him. And now he is real.

Bound to marry her childhood friend, the son of a noble demon-hunting clan, Ianthe is torn between duty and a growing hunger that defies everything she's ever known. Her parents, sworn enemies of darkness and the realm's greatest demon hunters, would see Deimos destroyed. But when death rains upon her world and all that she loves crumbles, she makes the ultimate sacrifice: herself.

Taken into the heart of a realm where nightmares reign, Ianthe is crowned as the shadow bride beside a king she swore to hate.
And yet...
As he wraps her in silks of midnight and crowns her in thorns, desire blooms in the hollow where hatred should live. Her soul remembers him. Her heart begins to ache for him.
She promised to destroy him.
But how do you kill the devil...
...when you cannot bear to let him go?
