He was the monster who destroyed her world. She was the healer who could save his soul.
When Lyra Ashworth's healing touch soothes the supernatural fire that has tormented the Shadow King for ten years, she becomes his most valuable prisoner—and his greatest temptation.
Kieran Blackthorne spent a decade planning revenge against the man who murdered his family. He never planned on the daughter who would challenge everything he believes about justice, mercy, and the possibility of redemption.
Forced into an impossible arrangement, Lyra must heal the very curse that keeps Kieran alive—or watch innocent people die. But every touch, every moment of relief she grants him, draws them deeper into a connection that shouldn't exist.
Her father's greatest enemy. Her family's darkest secret. The man whose pain calls to every instinct she possesses.
As supernatural forces converge on their fragile alliance, Lyra must choose between the family that raised her and the broken king who sees her as salvation. Between comfortable lies and devastating truths. Between safety and a love that could literally transform worlds.
But Kieran harbors secrets that could destroy them both. The curse binding him is only the beginning of a conspiracy that reaches into the very foundations of their realm.
When the truth finally emerges, will their impossible bond be strong enough to survive betrayal, political upheaval, and enemies who would see them both destroyed?
Can love born from enmity forge something powerful enough to reshape the very nature of magic itself?
