Description
Aveline was sent to kill the cursed dragon prince—she was never supposed to fall for him.
As a human raised among powerful fae, Aveline Drake has always known her place in the kingdom. Betrothed to the prince and bound by duty, her future has already been written.
So when the queen commands her to cross the sea on an impossible quest…she can’t refuse.
Her mission is simple: infiltrate the enemy court, steal the relic dagger the cursed dragon prince guards, and kill him before he ascends the throne. Only then will she be allowed to return home.
But nothing about the rival kingdom is as it seems…and Sorin Blackwater is not the monster she expects.
The feared dragon heir is dangerous, powerful, and burdened by a curse that grows darker with each passing day. He is the last person Aveline should trust—and the only one who makes her question everything she thought she knew.
As war looms between their kingdoms, Aveline finds herself torn between the life she left behind and the dragon prince she was sent to betray.
Because Sorin Blackwater is more than her enemy. They are bound by fate.
And destiny may prove far deadlier than any mission.
Perfect for fans of dark fantasy romance, enemies-to-lovers, slow burn tension, cursed dragon shifters, forbidden love, political intrigue, and morally gray heroes.
Advance Praise
"Sorin was easily my favorite part of the book. He’s powerful, fiercely loyal, and carries the weight of an entire kingdom on his shoulders, but beneath all that is someone who constantly puts others before himself. Watching him struggle between duty and what his heart wanted made him feel so real."
-ARC Reader
"The plot kept surprising me. Just when I thought I had figured everything out, another revelation would completely change the direction of the story. The political intrigue, hidden truths, and unexpected twists kept me hooked right until the very end."
-ARC Reader
"This romantasy hooked me right away and I couldn’t put it down. The story is fast-paced and full of twists, bombs, and secrets. Despite the fast-pace, the magic and world building was detailed and steady throughout the book. None of it felt rushed and I was easily immersed into the world."
-ARC Reader
"The imagery! The descriptions were so beautiful, the way the author used words to paint such a vivid world was truly stunning. I just found the overall writing to be so lovely and well done."
