Reyna has spent her entire life enslaved in a glittering palace, so when a raid finally offers her a chance at freedom, she grabs it—only to be claimed by the terrifying Shadow Court Prince himself. Forced into a betrothal she never asked for, she's convinced he's a monster beneath that mask, but the lethal, intoxicating man underneath completely upends everything she thought she knew. As Reyna is pulled deeper into a dark world of secrets and deadly magic, she discovers her captor needs her just as desperately as she's beginning to need him, and resisting their connection becomes impossibly harder. This slow-burn enemies-to-lovers fantasy is pure tension, Norse-inspired magic, and a hero who would burn the world down for the woman he's sworn to protect.
Reading soundtrack
Dark, intoxicating fae romance with slow-burn tension and dangerous attraction. Blend gothic orchestral, moody indie, and sensual electronic—think Hozier, Halsey, and Florence + The Machine. Ethereal yet sinister, intimate yet haunting. Perfect for forced proximity and enemies-to-lovers magic.
