In the mist-draped palace of West Vales, something ancient has woken... and it's hungry.

Vienna Mallor has been raised to play her part. the obedient duchess, the bride-to-be of a cruel prince, the future queen with no voice of her own. She is cold, lonely, and on the brink of breaking beneath the surface.

He appears in the night,  red-eyed, powerful, and observant. He is not human. He was never meant to get so close. To survive, she must trust the very creature she was raised to fear and surrender to the bond that ties her soul to his.

But trust is not easy. And safety has never felt like this. His touch reverent, his voice possessive, his desire unrelenting. He doesn't just want to protect her, he wants to claim her.

And the more she gives in, the more dangerous their bond becomes.

A cursed palace. A forbidden protector. A slow, sinful descent into a love that tastes like ruin and salvation.

For readers who love:
- emotionally healing spice
- obsessive devotion and touch starvation
- monster romance with trust and surrender
- dark soulmates and palace intrigue
- generational curses, divine secrets, and seductive horror

Book 1 in a series! Despite what Emrys has been told, her Kingdom Abneer was not the only one to survive, King Reyes is not the only monarch, and monsters are real. Previously a soldier for the King, now betrothed to his son, Prince Roan, Emrys Ortega is starting to feel the burden of the title she never wanted. After repeatedly sneaking out of the palace leads to a sinister threat from the King, Emrys begins to worry for her family's safety. So when she learns that one of her kingdom's soldiers has been kidnapped by the Queen of another Kingdom, Valoria, she sees this as her opportunity to redeem herself in the King's eyes and protect her family. The only problem is that she had no idea the Kingdom of Valoria even existed. In fact, the Kingdom is unlike her own. It's filled with the same monsters from the stories she had been told-monsters of the night. In order to rescue the soldier, Emrys must team up with the notorious monster, the Shadow Knight, and his team of mercenaries. Through their missions and encounters with the monsters, Emrys not only learns the true extent of the lies she had been fed, but that the King has something planned, far bigger than she ever imagined, and finally realizes that her true enemies may not be the monsters after all.
