To save her crumbling family, Elira Valen is forced to marry into the most feared syndicate in the kingdom - to Dante Vortigan, a man carved from shadow, whispered to be the devil himself. But Elira has a secret: she plans to kill him. One day. One strike. One perfect moment.
Yet the deeper she steps into his world of blood and power, the more she realizes Dante isn't the only monster lurking within the palace walls. Mirrors begin to move. Shadows whisper her name. And something ancient - something cursed - is watching.
Bound to a man she swore to destroy, hunted by a force older than death, Elira must decide what she fears more: the devil she married... or the darkness that wants her soul.

CURRENTLY UNDER EDITING!! ________________________ I never believed in MONSTERS until I met him. Men like him don't walk in the light, they are not mentioned by name, their DEEDS are not chronicled, but their HANDIWORK is all around. It began with that one night, at the time, I thought nothing of it. I didn't know that was the night everything would change. The first time I entered his DOMAIN, it was an accident, I had no idea what I was stepping into. But the second time, however, was intentional. I returned for a job-nothing personal, just BUSSINESS. Something I could easily leave behind when it was over. How naive I was! His world is not one you can walk into and out of unscathed. It is built on unspoken agreements, lies that run too deep, and truths too dangerous for most to handle. And every moment spent here pulls me deeper into his orbit. I thought I could keep my distance, instead, I found myself getting closer to him, much closer than I'd ever planned or wanted to be but close enough to almost forget what he really is and that's the problem because deep down inside me still lies this knowledge of how it ends. If he knew why exactly I am here? He would not hesitate for a second before putting a bullet through my head! Walk away now while you can! I Can't! Somewhere along this twisted path of fate and fate's cruel jokes about control and power over others' lives, the ILLUSION began creeping into my mind. That somehow I had CONTROL over everything. That somehow I was PLAYING the game! But no! Never once I ever was the PLAYER but only just a PAWN in this game called BLOOD AND THRONE!! ____________________ ⚠️ WARNING This book contains mature themes and strong language.

The rain fell in sheets, turning cobblestone streets into slick rivers. Gunmetal glinted under the moonlight as the two stood facing each other-Elira, the daughter of kasim Ashrani, and Dante, heir to the Morenze crime family. Blood between their empires had flowed for years, but nothing compared to the fire raging between them now. "i should've killed you before" Elira hissed, stepping closer, her blade still dripping from the man she'd taken down-Dante's second-in-command. "You tried," he replied, voice low and gravelly, eyes scanning her every move. "But I'm still alive... after you stab me, my wild cat," Silence. Then- She surged forward, knife pressed to his throat. His hand went to her waist. Her breath caught. "I hate you," she growled. "Lie again.." he dared her, pulling her body against his. "I...I..hate you ", she shout. "Then hate me in my bed", he said before crashing his lips on her. The kiss that followed was brutal-teeth, blood, desire tangled in violence. Their worlds demanded war, but their bodies betrayed the truth. In the shadows of betrayal, under the veil of darkness, they found something far more dangerous than revenge: Obsession. And neither of them would survive it.Complete
