A dark romantasy about fae and dragons by Julietta Cross, the author of the “Enchanted by Love” series. This is a story where passion, power, and mortal danger are woven into a single, gripping knot.
At the center is a cruel, alluring hero with a gray morality, whose choices can’t be reduced to simple labels, and a strong heroine who is ready to stake everything on her convictions. A tense slow burn is driven by forbidden attraction, hostility, court intrigue, and the unending struggle between feeling and duty.
In a world where darkness devours light, and oaths are paid for with blood, the fate of an entire people falls upon the fragile shoulders of a princess.
He is Gollya Verbain, the new king of the ghostly fae: his shadow has fallen over his father’s throne, and even where people are used to not being afraid of the dark, his name is spoken in whispers. Merciless and obsessed, he can turn the very skies to ash, just so he doesn’t lose the one he once pulled from the jaws of death.
She is Una Hartstone, the last hope of Izos—a princess who paid with her own soul for a chance to save her people. Her magic is a secret, her heart is an impregnable fortress, and the enemy who has become her companion is the only one who sees her not as a victim, but as an equal.
But the war is not over yet. Among Gollya’s subjects, a traitor is hiding… Who is he? What does he want? And will Una and Gollya manage to stop him before it’s too late?
