About this book

Alira, a haunted demigod knight, is trapped in a brutal, unending time loop. With each cycle, she faces the same grim fate: death at the hands of the demon kingdom’s ruthless Blood Knight. Burdened by the crushing guilt of her past actions in the village of Thornhall, Alira realizes that if she wants to stop the carnage and survive, she must take a desperate gamble. To end the war between their kingdoms, she enters an impossible union, only to discover her new husband is the very man who has killed her twenty times over. This dark fantasy delivers a high-stakes enemies-to-lovers romance fueled by intense yearning and dangerous secrets. Kalel, a powerful duke of demons who survives by consuming the blood of demigods, is determined to despise Alira for the destruction of his kin. Yet, as they are forced together, the lines between hatred and desire begin to blur. Beneath the surface of their cursed marriage, they uncover a web of divine manipulation, realizing that the gods are pulling strings that threaten to destroy them both. As they navigate their volatile connection, Alira and Kalel must decide what they are willing to demolish to protect a love that should never have existed.
