"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?

The Villainess Won't Play
Selena Ashford's life was nothing but a monotonous shell-until one fateful morning, she wakes up as Seraphina Ashenveil, the villainess of the very fantasy romance she despises: Whispers of Hearts. Known for its twisted plots and the inevitable death of its villainess, Selena's new life is a nightmare. Ugh.. Why this stupid book!? As Seraphina, she is surrounded by two figures who mark her doom: her ruthless father, Aldric Ashenveil, and the male lead, Caius Valerian, whose cold indifference promises only betrayal. But fate throws her an unexpected twist-she crosses paths with Killian Valmond, the second male lead, a fiercely loyal and annoyingly arrogant knight who dies in a most pathetic yet stupid way for the female lead. Tsk, Cliché. But he is not leaving her side. He sticks with her like she's something which either needs to be guarded or protected. She can't tell which. Stupid Man. Seeking refuge, Seraphina hides in a small village, where the kind-hearted locals accept her without asking questions. Despite her growing frustrations with Killian's persistent presence, she begins to question everything she thought she knew about her new reality. Something is off-no one seems to be playing by the rules of the story, and the characters seem eerily alive, drifting away from their roles as if the book itself was a mere myth. Or Maybe.. Is it? Slowly, Selena uncovers unsettling truths that suggest her life, the worlds, everything might be a lie. As the lines between fiction and reality blur, Seraphina must decide if she can carve her own path to survival or if she's destined for a fate far worse than the book ever predicted.
