Every year, the fae take a girl across the thorn border.
Every year, she is dressed in white.
Every year, she dies before dawn.
When Maren Ashvale’s sickly sister is chosen as the next sacrifice, Maren volunteers in her place and becomes the newest bride of King Theron Vaelthorn — the cursed fae king every village girl has been taught to fear.
But Theron is not the monster waiting in the wedding chamber.
He gives Maren a key, a dagger, and a choice.
Then the curse comes for her.
Now Maren is the first bride to survive the night, and the court that expected her corpse wants to know why the ancient magic rejected its meal. The dead brides whisper her name. The palace watches her. And the king who was supposed to destroy her may be the only man willing to lose her before he ever cages her.
She was sent as a sacrifice.
She returned as a threat.
DAWNLESS is a dark adult fae romantasy with a cursed king, forced marriage, deadly court politics, slow-burn romance, hidden magic, and a love story built on choice instead of possession.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
