In a world where art is forbidden and artists are hunted, Inana survives by secretly spinning dangerous tales for underground audiences—until she catches the attention of Dominic, a formidable Shadowbane willing to blackmail her into service. What begins as a grim alliance of necessity transforms into something far more dangerous when undeniable chemistry ignites between the hunted storyteller and the monster hunter tasked with using her gifts. As they navigate shadowy conspiracies and uncover devastating truths about their world, Inana and Dominic discover that their attraction might be the most sinister threat of all. This is a deliciously dark romantasy where lies beget monsters, desire becomes destiny, and nothing—not even survival—is simple.
Reading soundtrack
Dark, sensual, and dangerous—moody gothic atmosphere meets smoldering tension. Think industrial synth, sultry R&B, haunting orchestral elements, and artists like Halestorm, The Neighbourhood, and Massive Attack. Forbidden desire wrapped in shadow and conspiracy.
