About this audiobook
Paranormal Romance — slow burn romance, happily ever after, swoony romance reads.
A vampire romance of forbidden desire, a one-night stand that changes everything, a friends-to-lovers slow burn, a secret baby, and the love worth fighting for. When mortal Elara volunteers to take her sister's place as a sacrifice in the decaying faerie court of Shadowbriar, she expects death. Instead, she finds a world of crumbling opulence and a ruthless regent, Kaelen, cursed to feed on the life force of every mortal who enters his domain. Elara is no ordinary sacrifice: she is immune to his curse, and their first encounter ignites a desperate, consuming passion that neither can resist. But one night of surrender leaves Elara pregnant with a child that could break the curse—or doom them all. Kaelen, bound by ancient magic and a heart hardened by centuries of isolation, must choose between the freedom he craves and the woman who carries his heir. As the ruination—a dark force that devours the court from within—encroaches, Elara discovers the curse's true origin: a betrayal that ties her own bloodline to Kaelen's torment. She must unravel the secrets of the Shadowborn before the ruination consumes them both, but the truth demands an impossible choice: sacrifice her unborn child to save the court, or let the court fall to save her family. Tropes: one-night stand, friends-to-lovers slow burn, secret baby, vampire romance, forced proximity, fated mates, enemies-to-lovers, grumpy-sunshine, magical curse, found family. The Shadowborn Chronicles continues with A Throne of Shadows and Flame, where the stakes rise and new alliances are forged. Read on for a heart-wrenching tale of love, sacrifice, and redemption that will leave you breathless.
Perfect for readers who love **Harley Laroux** and **Liv Zander**.
