About this book
A powerful king has declared war, and Aurora is caught at the center of his obsession—a man who doesn't just want to protect her, he needs to own her. When she dares to disappear from his world, she discovers that some men don't accept surrender; they demand total conquest. Expect dark intensity, possessive passion, and a heroine who'll have to navigate the dangerous game of power alongside a man who rewrites all the rules for her. This is a ruthless love story where kingdoms crumble and control becomes an act of devotion.

Dark, possessive energy with sensual tension. Moody indie-pop and brooding R&B—think Cigarettes After Sex, The Weeknd, Sade. Industrial edges meet intimate vocals. Atmospheric, controlling, magnetic. For lovers of dominance and dangerous desire.
