When the last daughter of a fallen house is claimed by the warlord who burned her world, Leila Morana steps into a marriage forged in fire and shadows. Beneath his keep lies an ancient darkness, whispering promises of power. To survive, she must take it into herself-and decide whether she will be Drazan Virel's queen... or his undoing. In a court ruled by fear, where every vow is a weapon, Leila's ambition ignites. Her bond with the warlord becomes a battlefield of its own-one of desire, dominance, and dangerous equality. And while rival forces gather in the dark, she must decide how far she will go to protect her crown... even if it means becoming the very thing they fear.
