Lady of Cinders

Bound by a love that defies reason and a curse that defies salvation, I must navigate a kingdom of secrets before the man I can't live without is lost forever.

I'd never aspired to be a queen. Or to fall for a king shrouded in mystery. Merrick's the golden ruler of daylight, and Lorant, his bodyguard, is the dangerous, scarred shadow of night. Two men bound by a curse that has tormented Evergorne Court for generations.

Some say I'm their salvation. But I've been lied to, manipulated, and my trust has been shattered. I should run from this cursed kingdom. Instead, I find myself standing beside Merrick during the day, clawing for answers to a riddle no one is able to speak aloud. And my nights honing my magical abilities with Lorant.

With Merrick's thirtieth birthday only weeks away, the curse tightens its hold, threatening his life and forcing me deeper into a world of betrayal, power, and fractured love. I must navigate fragile alliances in a court divided by secrets, uncover a treacherous past, and face an enemy determined to kill me.

Picking between Merrick and Lorant is not only impossible, it's forbidden. But what if I don’t have to pick at all?
