About this audiobook

Paranormal Romance — slow burn romance, happily ever after, swoony romance reads. A bone-witch who sacrificed her sister to save herself. A shadow king who holds her sister’s soul. And a marriage of convenience that will burn them both alive. In a realm where fated mates are bound by blood and forbidden desire, Kaelen Voss must serve the dark lord she swore to destroy—only to discover the real monster is the part of herself she has always denied. Ten years ago, Kaelen made an impossible choice: trade her sister’s soul for her own survival. Now she is a bone-witch hiding in the shadows of the Veridain court, wielding forbidden magic that could get her killed. When the king of shadows, Dain Ashvale, summons her to his obsidian tower, she expects a quick execution. Instead, he offers her a deal: a marriage of convenience that will bind her to his throne and grant her access to the soul vault where her sister is trapped. But Dain has secrets darker than the bone-magic in her blood—and the closer she gets to him, the more she feels the pull of a bond she cannot deny. The complication: Dain is not the monster she feared. He is a man cursed to consume the souls of those he loves, and Kaelen’s bone-magic is the only thing that can break his curse—if she can survive the truth. As workplace tension ignites into forbidden desire, Kaelen discovers that her sister’s soul is not the only thing at stake. The shadow king’s court is a web of political intrigue, ancient curses, and a prophecy that will force her to choose between saving her sister and saving the man who has become her fated mate. Tropes: Fated mates, marriage of convenience, workplace tension, forbidden desire, enemies-to-lovers, shadow king, bone-witch, soul bargain, curse-breaking, morally gray hero, slow-burn romance.

Armentrout’s From Blood and Ash, and the forbidden passion of Raven Kennedy’s Plated Prisoner series. Read next: A Crown of Ash and Thorn (Book Two).
