In a realm where beauty topples thrones and shadows birth monsters, two souls collide — and the world will never be the same.
Lucien, the forsaken Emperor of Shadows, bears a beauty so devastating, even the gods dare not meet his gaze. Once destined to rule the heavens, he was betrayed, cursed, and cast into exile — now feared, worshiped, and forbidden.
Selene, a mortal girl born under a shrouded bloodline, shines like the last light of a dying star. Hunted by enemies she cannot name, she flees into the cursed Ruins... and awakens the sleeping king whose kiss could either save her — or doom them both.
Bound by blood, fate, and a prophecy soaked in betrayal and war, their meeting ignites a storm that will tear kingdoms apart, awaken ancient races, and shatter the fragile balance of realms.
But beauty is a curse... and love is a battlefield drowned in blood, secrets, and forbidden desire.
In a world where loyalty wears the mask of betrayal, and every kiss might hide a dagger, Lucien and Selene must survive a dance of seduction, schemes, and bloodshed — or lose not just their hearts, but the fate of the entire world.
He was meant to rule alone.
She was fated to destroy him.
A breathtaking dark fantasy of passion, betrayal, blood, and power.
