The Emperor's Enemy (Deluxe Limited Edition): A Dark Fantasy Romance (Unsurvivable Love Duet, 1)

He calls himself Aleksander the Sadistic for a reason—and Zora Ravenal is about to find out exactly why.

In this scorching dark romantasy from bestselling author Jasmine Mas, two enemies locked in a deadly game of power discover that hatred and obsession share a dangerously thin border.

Zora Ravenal has earned every one of her titles. Knight Mage. Bear of the North. The last, best hope of her people against a ravenous empire that consumes everything it touches. She has outrun, outfought, and outwitted every threat thrown her way—but she has never faced anything like the Emperor himself.

Aleksander rules by divine mandate and dark magic, and he wants Zora. Not just captured. Not just defeated. *Possessed*. When his deadliest weapon, the empire's most feared assassin known only as Tarantula, fails to bring her in, Aleksander decides to handle the matter personally. A choice that neither of them will survive unchanged.

What begins as predator and prey spirals into something far more complicated—and far more dangerous—as the lines between enemy and obsession blur beneath impossible circumstances. The magic crackles. The tension ignites. And the war between them becomes something neither one has a name for yet.

Packed with dark humor, breathless suspense, and the kind of slow-burn tension that makes your pulse pound, *The Emperor's Enemy* is the romantasy that will ruin you for every other book on your shelf. Book one of two—and the cliffhanger will *devastate* you.
