Lucien Ashfall is a man forged in agony. For twenty years, he has been held captive in a high-tech, luxurious prison, his bloodline exploited by those desperate to secure an heir. He is dangerous, volatile, and burning with a singular, destructive desire: to escape and lay waste to everyone who has ever caged him. His routine of isolation is shattered when Rook Snowdon is mistakenly thrown into Cinderkeep. Unlike the seductresses sent before her, Rook is a nomad with no interest in power or games. She is battling a mysterious, chronic illness that makes stress a lethal threat, leaving her with only three simple goals: hide her true identity, keep her anxiety at bay, and survive. Thrown together by circumstance, the captive monster and the unlikely visitor form a fragile, forbidden truce. As they navigate the claustrophobic terror of the palace, their mutual suspicion mutates into a slow-burn, feral obsession. Featuring the enemies-to-lovers and forced proximity tropes, this dark romance fantasy fusion pushes both characters to their breaking points. In a world of secrets and fated bonds, they soon discover that the only thing more dangerous than their captors is the magnetic, soul-shattering connection growing between them.
