Reese Maren Blake never meant to cross worlds. One moment she was an ordinary girl on Earth-the next, she awakens in a kingdom of crowns and castles, where hair color dictates destiny.
Crimson marks kings.
Silver crowns heirs.
Pastels belong to nobles.
Soft hues to commoners.
But black has never existed.
Until her.
The people recoil in fear, whispering an ancient prophecy: "When the black-haired one appears, kingdoms will fall."
Some want her executed before the curse can take root. Others scheme to wield her as a weapon to seize power.
Tasked with guarding her is Karius Alistair Crowndale, a crimson-haired prince whose bloodline ties him to fire and rulership. Bound by duty but torn by conscience, he sees Reese not as a harbinger of ruin, but as a lost soul-frightened, stubborn, and braver than anyone believes.
As rebellion brews and kingdoms prepare for war, their forbidden bond grows into something neither can ignore. And Reese must decide:
Will she fight for a world that fears her, or find a way back to the home she left behind?
A slow-burn fantasy romance about forbidden love, political intrigue, and the girl from another dimension whose midnight hair could change everything.
