Of Spindles and Nightfall
(2025)A Rumpelstiltskin Fairy Tale Romance
(A book in the Villain's Kiss series)
A novel by J Ann Curtis
Rumpelstiltskin meets The Serpent and the Wings of Night in this spicy, fairy tale retelling.
Never make a deal with a demon—especially the demon arch king.
Aryana, the vampire princess, has spent her life as a weapon in her uncle’s cruel kingdom. But when the demon arch king, Zarathos, steals her away, she is thrust into a world more treacherous than anything she could have imagined.
Zarathos’s presence is suffocating, his dark power intoxicating. He claims she has the ability to turn straw into gold—a lie. But the real truth is far more terrifying. He needs her for the deadly demon trials, and he’ll stop at nothing to bend her to his will.
Bound together by a bargain neither can escape, Aryana must fight for Zarathos in the trials, even while the magnetic pull between them grows with each passing moment. The more time they spend together, the deeper she’s pulled into a world of lust, power, and ruthless peril.
Zarathos will never let her survive the trials. She’s nothing more than a pawn in his plans. But as the fire between them burns hotter, Aryana wonders if the demon king has claimed more than her life—has he taken her heart as well?
Of Spindles and Nightfall is a standalone, dark gothic fantasy romance—a reimagining of the Rumpelstiltskin tale, filled with vampires, demons, and a deadly love that could destroy them both. Perfect for fans of possessive shadow daddies, forbidden passion and dangerous bargains.
