"I was given to the shadows to save my people. But the shadow has a heart and it just might break mine." When war looms between the human kingdoms and the dark realm of Noctara, 18.year old Aelira Voss is forced into a marriage with Kael Dravyn the infamous Shadow Prince feared across realms. Cursed, untouchable, and shrouded in darkness, Kael hides more than a kingdom’s worth of secrets. Aelira enters a world of demons, forgotten gods, and forbidden magic where nothing is as it seems not even her own blood. As she unravels the prince’s curse and the secrets of her lineage, she must choose between the world that abandoned her... and the monster who just might love her. But love in Noctara comes with a price and breaking a curse might break her too.
