THE SHADOW KING'S BRIDE

He was supposed to rule her.
He never expected to want her.

Damien Veyr rules Noctavia with shadow magic, cold control, and a curse that punishes weakness. Elara Ashborne is the daughter of his enemy house - and the bride he is forced to marry to stop a war.

Elara expects a monster in a crown. Damien expects a spy in silk. What neither of them expects is the hunger growing between them inside Ravenshade Palace, where every corridor hides a knife, every court smile conceals a betrayal, and every touch risks waking the darkness bound to Damien's bloodline.

As assassination attempts close in and forbidden records begin to surface, Damien and Elara are forced into a dangerous alliance that feels far too much like temptation. To protect the city, Damien must keep control. To survive her marriage, Elara must learn the truth. But if love is the one thing the Veyr curse was built to destroy, falling for each other could shatter more than their hearts.

The Shadow King's Bride is a complete adult dark romantasy romance with a guaranteed HEA and a larger series story that continues across the Bloodveil Dynasty.
