Maliah was never meant to rule. The only daughter of Novah's late king and queen, she inherited the throne at eighteen after their brutal assassination. For years, she has fought to keep her kingdom from falling apart, even as war looms on her doorstep. But when Kian, the ruthless king of Kolgrym, storms her palace with the intent to end her bloodline, she prepares to die fighting.
Except she can't kill him. And he can't kill her.
Bound by an ancient spell cast on them as children-one meant to unite their kingdoms, not destroy them-Maliah and Kian are forced into an impossible choice: marriage or war. If they wed, the spell will break after a year, and one of them will finally be able to claim victory. But there's one rule neither of them can ignore: they must never fall in love.
Because love will not only seal their fates-it will doom both their kingdoms to ruin.
With secrets unraveling and betrayal lurking in every shadow, Maliah and Kian must navigate a deadly game of power, vengeance, and desire. But as their hatred begins to shift into something far more dangerous, one question remains: when the year is over, will they still be willing to destroy each other?
