A ruthless queen discovers her traitorous husband is about to marry another, so she does what any scorned ruler would—she locks him in her dungeon to finally confront the betrayal that shattered her heart years ago. But as war threatens to consume her kingdom and dangerous political games swirl around her, she realizes vengeance might have to take a backseat to survival. Trapped in close quarters with the one man who broke her, the queen finds herself battling not just external enemies, but the possibility that a dead heart might be capable of beating anew. This is a gloriously dark, emotionally intense romance for readers who crave complex characters, high stakes, and the kind of passion that's forged in fire and shadow.

Think Hozier's darkness, Purity Ring's haunting synths, and AURORA's otherworldly vocals. Aching tension, forbidden desire, and the weight of vengeance.”
