When enemies tear apart two souls bound by devotion, a captive songbird and her beautiful monster king must wage war to reclaim what's theirs. She'll use her cunning and fierce spirit to escape her captors' cruel games, while he unleashes the full wrath of his kingdom to burn down anyone foolish enough to stand between them. Dark, passionate, and utterly consuming, this conclusion to Erik and Livia's epic love story proves that some bonds are forged in blood and fire—and nothing in the Ever Kingdom can break them. If you crave ruthless heroes, defiant heroines, and the kind of romance that makes you believe in conquering the world for love, this dark fantasy will leave you breathless.

Dark, sensual, and consuming—like fae magic meeting fierce devotion. Mix gothic orchestral with sultry R&B and industrial rock. Think Hozier's intensity, FKA twigs' ethereal darkness, and The Weeknd's smoldering passion. Obsessive, burning, unapologetic.
