A novel by Seraphina Wilderose
🔥Shadows of Temptation🔥
She’s the shadow behind the throne.
He’s the fury no one dares awaken.
But when the darkness rises… not even love will escape unscathed.
They whisper that Raven Ashthorne is cursed—
Touched by old magic, marked by the veil, and slipping deeper into the darkness she once fought to contain.
But Raven doesn’t need their pity. Or their fear.
She’s spent her life keeping secrets—and becoming one.
Until he returns.
Dorian Ravenshade.
The lost heir. The warrior forged in exile.
A man whose beast has grown too wild to cage…
And whose presence threatens the control Raven is barely holding onto.
When a forgotten court rises to reclaim the land, Raven becomes the key to a ritual that could tear the veil between worlds apart.
To stop it, she must walk into the heart of corruption—
With Dorian at her side, burning for her in ways she can’t afford to feel.
But the deeper they go, the harder it is to pretend.
That she doesn’t crave the way he sees her.
That he doesn’t burn for the girl behind the shadows.
That fate hasn’t already tied their ruin together.
Because some monsters are born.
Others are bound.
And in the end—
It won’t be prophecy that decides their fate.
It will be the temptation they can’t walk away from.
