📚 Book 2 of a completed 2-book series
A shadow emerges from darkness with one goal: vengeance against those who tried to bury him—and he'll stop at nothing to claim his throne, even if it means dragging his reluctant wife into the chaos with him. Rai Sokolov expects the worst from this man who's become her husband, but as their dangerous game unfolds, the line between enemy and protector blurs in ways neither of them anticipated. With betrayal lurking at every corner and blood-soaked decisions mounting, these two must decide if they're willing to burn everything down together—or if love can survive in a kingdom built on vengeance. The final chapter of this duet is raw, intense, and absolutely unputdownable for readers craving morally grey characters and high-stakes romance.
Reading soundtrack
Dark, obsessive, and dangerous—blend industrial beats with smoldering R&B and gothic alternative. Think Nine Inch Nails meets The Weeknd's intensity. Incorporate moody trap, synth-heavy darkness, and raw vocal tension. Atmospheric, possessive, unrelenting.
