Lira was meant to die for the throne.
Cassian Vale was trained to be the blade that ended her.
But the moment he hesitates—one heartbeat, one breath—everything forbidden ignites.
Now the deadliest man in the Syndicate is the only thing standing between Lira and a prophecy that demands her blood. He should fear her. He should kill her. Instead… he can’t stop wanting her.
She’s the girl marked for sacrifice.
He’s the weapon shaped to obey.
Together, they become the spark that threatens to burn Obscura to ashes
As Lira’s power awakens and the throne tightens its grip, their desire becomes its own kind of danger—raw, consuming, and impossible to survive untouched. Enemies hunt them. Shadows follow them. And the kingdom whispers one truth:
If Cassian doesn’t ruin her, she’ll ruin him.
A dark, seductive story of prophecy, power, and a love so intense it could topple a kingdom.
Read an Excerpt
“You shouldn’t look at me like that,” Cassian said.
I didn’t stop.
“How should I look at you?” I asked, stepping closer, close enough to feel the heat rolling off his body. “Like a monster?”
His jaw clenched. “Like someone who can ruin you.”
I smiled. “You already have.”
His hand came up fast, pinning me to the wall—not violent, but unyielding. His body crowded mine, every inch of him a warning I ignored willingly.
“You don’t understand what you’re inviting,” he murmured.
“I understand exactly,” I said, fingers sliding into his coat, finding the steady thrum of his heart. “You don’t touch things you don’t intend to keep.”
His breath stuttered.
“Say that again,” he said.
“I’m not afraid of you.”
That was the moment he lost control.
His mouth crushed to mine, all restraint burned away, and the world narrowed to breath, skin, and the terrifying certainty that neither of us would walk away unchanged.
