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.
