Description

An oracle should know better than to fall for a doomed king.

Aurora is a scholar—not a prophesied hero. But the day she finds her first artefact, destiny pits her against the primordial monster that has repeatedly destroyed her world. Cornered by the beast and reeling from a devastating loss, her artefact sends her to the ancient past and gives her a chance to change history. Except it also lands her in the arms of King Theron, a handsome schemer infamous for his tragic fate.

Theron is a bad man but an excellent king. When a battlefield mishap sends him to an enemy queendom in chains, the last thing he expects to find is a beauty with the knowledge to save his kingdom and crush his enemies. Tempted by Aurora’s uncanny foresight, Theron vows to possess her at any cost.

Aurora’s only hope to defeat the monster in the ancient past is Theron’s army. Knowing he’s meant for another and with her world’s future at stake, she can’t risk succumbing to Theron's seduction. But as Aurora awakens magic that torments her with visions of predestined tragedies, she begins to fear her heart is as doomed as the man—and world—she’s trying to save.

The Oracle of Dusk is the first epic fantasy romance novel in the Cycle of Calamity series where The Legend of Zelda meets a Bronze Age Outlander. If you love fated romance, height differences, time travel, and morally grey men, escape into The Oracle of Dusk!
