In a fractured kingdom where magic is forbidden, Princess Elara was born under a blood moon-a bad omen. Feared by her people and locked away in the castle's northern wing, she's whispered to be cursed. When the king dies mysteriously, the council places the throne in the hands of his illegitimate son, Riven, a war-hardened bastard raised outside the palace walls.
Elara is given one choice: marry Riven to unite the kingdom or be executed to break the "curse." But the moment their eyes meet, it's clear - Riven has secrets of his own. Ones that could either save the kingdom or burn it to ash.
As Elara begins to unlock the dark power inside her, Riven must decide: protect the girl he's supposed to hate, or destroy her before her magic destroys them all.

Desperate for a cure, she attempts the forbidden: a volatile ritual to harness a captured entity of pure power. Instead of a cure, she finds Kaelen, the devastatingly beautiful Lord of Shadow, and accidentally binds him to her very soul. - he shouldn't like it but to be free? or to actually fall in love? The pact should be simple: her command, his power. But Lyra quickly learns the horrifying truth: the curse is not a disease, but a centuries-old Seal maintaining Kaelen's prison.
