A princess cursed to die and be reborn meets an immortal assassin sent to eliminate her—and suddenly the most dangerous weapon in the kingdom finds himself unable to pull the trigger. Bryony has spent lifetimes being sacrificed to keep the peace, but when the Wolf arrives at her door, the connection that ignites between them threatens to shatter the delicate balance between gods and mortals. Their forbidden love becomes a spark that could topple empires, because the one rule that can never be broken is this: when gods fall for mortals, someone always pays the price. If you're craving dark fairytale romance with enemies-to-lovers heat, gothic atmosphere, and the kind of seductive tension that makes your heart race, this is the book for you.
Reading soundtrack
Dark, sensual gothic romance with forbidden intensity. Think industrial beats, haunting orchestral strings, and smoldering vocals. Mix moody darkwave, ethereal synth-pop, and passionate alt-rock. Atmospheric and dangerous—like fate and desire colliding in shadow.
