Queen Evelyn loved and trusted King Lucien—until the night he stood over her deathbed, smirking as the poison took its toll. Betrayed by the man she once called her husband, she dies cursing his name… only to awaken years in the past, before her tragic fate was sealed.

Armed with knowledge of the future, Evelyn swears she will never fall into Lucien’s trap again. But court politics are dangerous, and every move she makes threatens to alter fate in unpredictable ways. To survive, she must forge new alliances, including with the kingdom’s most feared warrior—Damien, the Cursed Warlord, a man whose dark past rivals her own.

Cold, ruthless, and hiding secrets of his own, Damien is the last person she should trust. Yet, as their fates intertwine, an undeniable bond forms between them. But with Lucien still scheming, enemies lurking in the shadows, and a prophecy whispering of an unbreakable curse, Evelyn must decide: will she rewrite her destiny, or is she doomed to relive the same betrayal?

A tale of revenge, forbidden love, and second chances, The Queen and the Cursed Warlord is a gripping fantasy romance filled with passion, secrets, and a fight against fate itself.
