Roses Bleed Black

Seraphine Vale has always feared the strange empathic gift she hides-an ability to feel the emotions of others as if they were her own. After her mother's mysterious death, that power begins to slip from her control, growing sharper and more volatile. One night, during an overwhelming emotional surge, Seraphine accidentally sends out a psychic cry.

The one who answers is Lucian Draegor, a cursed man whose emotions burn like wildfire. Bound to a centuries-old curse that turns love into obsession and devotion into destruction, Lucian has spent years isolating himself, convinced he's too dangerous to love. But Seraphine's presence quiets the darkness inside him, and her gift-usually painful-feels inexplicably drawn to him.

Their connection deepens even as danger closes in. A secret order known as The Thorned Covenant, long determined to eradicate Lucian's bloodline, senses Seraphine's growing power. To them, she is either a weapon to claim or a threat to eliminate. As Seraphine uncovers the truth about her mother's death, she discovers her abilities are linked to the same curse that haunts Lucian-and she may be the only one capable of breaking it.

But breaking the curse could kill Lucian.
Keeping it could consume Seraphine.

Forced to confront the darkness rising in both of them, Seraphine must decide whether to embrace the power she fears or risk losing the man whose very existence threatens her heart.

In a world where love can shatter or save, and where roses bleed black for a reason, Seraphine and Lucian walk the razor-thin line between ruin and redemption.
