A woman wakes with fractured memories and a crown she doesn't remember earning, married to a man whispered about in fearful tones—a king who seems to transcend mortality itself. As her past remains frustratingly out of reach, she's caught between the terrified masses who call her a traitor and the magnetic, mysterious ruler whose very presence commands dread and devotion. When he comes for her with an intensity that's equal parts dangerous and compelling, she must navigate a ravaged world's darkest secrets while discovering the truth about herself, her marriage, and what it means to rule alongside a man everyone fears. This is a richly atmospheric tale of a woman reclaiming her power, unraveling dangerous mysteries, and finding an unexpected connection with the one person everyone warned her about.
