A Crown Made of Shadows
A Fantasy Romance StoryBy Elise Arden
Length1h 38m
About this audiobook
She put on the cursed crown by accident.
Now she's soul-bonded to the most feared
Shadow King in existence.
The only way to break the bond is to kill him.
She's starting to think she can't.
She's starting to think she doesn't want to.
Selene Vale never wanted power.
But the moment the ancient crown touched her brow,
her fate was sealed — bound to Kael Noctis,
the ruthless Shadow King who has spent centuries
building an empire no one dares challenge.
The bond is unbreakable.
If he dies, she dies.
If she runs, he follows.
And the longer they're tethered together,
the harder it becomes to remember
he is everything she was taught to destroy.
A fast-paced dark fantasy romance featuring
a soul bond that makes running impossible,
enemies locked together by ancient magic,
and heat that was always inevitable.
