About this audiobook

Paranormal Romance — slow burn romance, happily ever after, swoony romance reads. Dark fae romance, enemies-to-lovers marriage pact, court intrigue. A half-human fae noble must secure a marriage alliance with her enemy's son to save her cursed brother, but their growing attraction threatens to shatter her court's fragile peace—and his own father's deadly ambitions. Seraphina Valcourt has spent a decade burying her half-human shame beneath iron discipline. As the Thorn Court's reluctant heir, she's learned to read a blade's edge before a lord's smile. But when her little brother falls under a wasting curse that only the Ash King's blood can break, she faces a single, impossible bargain: wed the son of the man who murdered her mother. Prince Kiernan Ashford is not the monster his father raised. Scarred, sharp-tongued, and trapped in a gilded cage of his own making, he agrees to the marriage to protect his own secret—a forbidden magic that would see him executed. Their wedding night is a cold exchange of vows and veiled threats, but the Ash King's court is a nest of vipers, and every dance, every dinner, every stolen glance is a battlefield. When a series of brutal attacks targets the Thorn Court, Seraphina suspects her new husband's hand. Yet Kiernan's eyes hold a grief too raw for lies, and his touch—when he saves her from a shadow-stalker in the library—burns with a tenderness that unmoors her. The deeper she digs, the more she discovers: the Ash King's ambition is not just conquest. He wants a weapon buried in Seraphina's own bloodline, a power that could unmake the fae realms. And Kiernan? He may be the only one who can help her stop it—if she can trust the man who shares her bed but not his truth. When the curse worsens and the Ash King demands Kiernan father an heir to cement the alliance, Seraphina is forced to choose: betray her court by fleeing with the prince, or sacrifice her brother to a slow death. But the Ash King has a third option—one that will burn everything Seraphina loves to ash. And the one truth she never saw coming? Kiernan's love might be the fire that saves them—or the spark that destroys two kingdoms. **Trope note:** Enemies-to-lovers forced marriage, slow-burn with hidden identities, fae courts in deadly rivalry, family secrets, magical bargain, morally gray hero with a soft spot only for her. **Series:** Courts of Ember and Frost.
