A former kingdom-saving hero languishes in a thorny prison, guarding a deadly secret—the location of a world-altering grimoire that's the only bargaining chip keeping her alive. When a dangerously beautiful and ruthless stranger arrives with his own agenda, she's forced into an uneasy alliance with a man whose dark eyes and wicked smile hide something far more sinister than a simple hunger for power. As trust becomes their most fragile weapon and the stakes spiral beyond either of them imagined, she must decide what she's willing to risk—her secret, her safety, or her heart. This is dark fantasy romance with delicious tension and the kind of enemies-to-lovers dynamic that will leave you breathless.
