About this book

Kaius Voroninov is a god among demons, a ruthless tyrant ruling from his Obsidian Palace with a legacy of bloodlust spanning a thousand years. Yet, beneath his cold, immortal exterior lies a singular, desperate obsession: the pursuit of mortality. His world is thrown into chaos when rumors spread that he is holding the fabled cursebreaker captive, sparking a rebellion among his subjects who fear his shifting priorities.

Enter Adelasia LeMasters, a delicate ballerina whose life is shattered when she is stolen away into the dark, gothic heart of Kaius’s kingdom. As the lines between captor and prisoner blur, Adelasia discovers that she carries a secret power within her soul that threatens to unravel everything Kaius has built. What begins as a volatile game of power soon deepens into a dangerous, soul-binding connection that defies the laws of their wretched existence.

This dark, atmospheric romantasy is the ultimate treat for fans of supernatural intrigue and high-stakes tension. With its twisted Beauty and the Beast aesthetic and intense paranormal dynamics, this story explores the thin line between ruin and redemption. If you crave a dark romance where the stakes are eternal and the passion is lethal, prepare to be haunted by the echoes of this captivating tale.

I absolutely LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH!! Ariel is absolutely one of my favorite authors so I knew I had to read this! Okay, picture this- It’s a dark and moonlit night, a few candles glowing giving a slight glow as an elegant ballerina dances for a small crowd in a courtyard of sorts. Pirouette, twist, turn and with a sudden gust of wind the candles are blown out, and a vampire’s glowing red eyes are the only thing the delicate ballerina sees before being whisked away. Imagine like a dark Beauty...

Audio was spot perfect

January 18, 2026

I will say that the audio was way better than the book for the first time ever I will say that the book did go slow and flat for me but the audio bring it to life so I’m only reading the audio which is a 5/5 and I love the narrators that did their job through this book. Awesome job. I enjoyed it. not saying that the book was bad. It just wasn’t giving more as the audio was. The book was OK. I just wish it was more even though this is part one of the book series. )
