About this book

After years under King Midas's controlling rule, you're finally breaking free—but the cost of that freedom lands you in an enemy kingdom where nothing is as it seems. When the sinister and dangerously charismatic King Ravinger enters the picture, you find yourself caught between the hard lessons you've learned about trusting powerful men and the intoxicating pull he has on you. As you navigate a treacherous court of lies and hidden agendas, you're determined to reclaim your power and turn the tables on those who've tried to cage you, even if it means risking your heart in the process. This is a darkly seductive tale about transformation, agency, and discovering that sometimes the most dangerous thing isn't falling for the wrong person—it's learning to trust yourself again.

intoxicatingdarksensualetherealdefiant

Dark fae fantasy romance with forbidden tension and dangerous allure. Mix moody alternative (Florence + The Machine, Halsey), sensual R&B (SZA, The Weeknd), ethereal orchestral elements, and gothic indie (Purity Ring, Chelsea Wolfe). Atmospheric and intoxicating—power plays and smoldering chemistry.

“Most people don't make it past the first book Guild, but I'm begging you to keep going because Guild reads kind of like a prequel.”
