Every bride who marries King Kael dies before the seventh night. For years, the kingdom has whispered of a curse that haunts the throne. Six brides have entered the royal palace adorned in silk and gold, only to leave in coffins before dawn of the seventh day. Some call the king a monster. Others believe death itself follows him. When Elara is chosen as the seventh bride, she refuses to become another victim. Determined to uncover the truth behind the curse, she enters a palace filled with secrets, shadows, and forbidden mysteries. But the closer she gets to the cold, broken king, the more she discovers that he is not the villain everyone believes him to be. Beneath his icy exterior lies a man haunted by loss, bound by an ancient darkness he cannot escape. As desire ignites between them and the seventh night draws near, Elara must unravel the curse before it claims her life. Because this time, death is watching... and it has no intention of letting the seventh bride survive. A spellbinding tale of love, sacrifice, and a curse that refuses to die.
