Malicent: Seven Devils, Book 1

Some wounds never scar—they fester, and Millicent has spent a lifetime sharpening her hatred into something deadly.

Raised in shadow and forged into a weapon for her coven, Millicent arrives in the Southern Kingdom with a single mission: secure her people's future. But the moment she crosses into the royal court, the past rises to meet her. Cage, the King's most feared and trusted mage, is the man who murdered her mother. To Millicent, he is her target. To Cage, she is something far more unsettling—a ghost he thought he'd buried, the dangerous apprentice of a monster he once risked everything to destroy.

They circle each other through candlelit halls and whispered threats, their mutual hatred electric and suffocating in equal measure. This gothic romantasy doesn't flinch from the complexity of two people shaped entirely by their shared trauma, both convinced the other is the villain.

Then something ancient stirs in the North.

A rot-inducing evil is waking—one that poisons the earth itself and refuses to let the dead remain quiet. Suddenly, survival demands the unthinkable: an alliance between two people who would each happily watch the other burn. Forced into proximity, Millicent and Cage must decide whether their hatred is stronger than the darkness threatening to consume everything around them.

With lush, atmospheric horror and tension that coils tighter with every chapter, *Malicent* is the gothic romance series debut you won't be able to put down.
