Genre: Fantasy Romance | Romantasy | Adult Fantasy

A king by day. A shadow by night. A love that could break an ancient curse.

For generations, the noble families of the Allied Realm have suffered under devastating curses inflicted by a betrayed goddess.

But none is more terrifying than the curse placed upon the royal family.

King Kian Mortara rules his kingdom by daylight, only to disappear into shadows each night. As his twenty-first birthday approaches, the curse threatens to erase him forever.

Enter Cerise Solon.

Raised to serve the goddess as a Seer, Cerise has one troubling secret: she has never shown any ability to predict the future. When she's unexpectedly sent to the royal court, she finds herself surrounded by dangerous secrets, political intrigue, and a king whose sharp tongue hides a haunting vulnerability.

As Cerise and Kian grow closer, an impossible attraction begins to blossom. But saving the king will require uncovering the truth behind an ancient betrayal—and confronting a secret Cerise has kept hidden from everyone.
