About this book

Arabella is a powerful enchantress tasked with protecting her village from the encroaching, malevolent forces of the forest. When the magical wards keeping the monsters at bay begin to fail, she makes a desperate, forbidden bargain with a demon. She expects a monster, but what she finds is a man of ancient, seductive power who feeds on her deepest desires with every lethal kiss.

This dark fantasy romance masterfully weaves the enemies-to-lovers and forced-proximity tropes into a high-stakes narrative where survival comes at a steep price. As the lines between protector and predator blur, Arabella finds herself ensnared in a fated-mates dynamic that defies everything she was taught to believe. The tension is palpable, the chemistry is scorching, and the stakes are nothing less than the safety of her entire world.

Perfect for readers who crave the intensity of A Court of Silver Flames, this story delivers raw emotion and uninhibited spice. Prepare yourself for a heart-pounding journey where the villain would burn the world down just to keep you. With a narrative that balances dangerous magic and forbidden longing, this series opener concludes on a devastating cliffhanger that will leave you desperate for the next installment.

⭐ Stars: 4/5 🔥 Spice: 4/5 I don’t usually check book details before diving in, so I was a bit thrown when the main characters changed after book #0.5. Don’t worry - Rowan & Nemera are still part of this universe, but it is not their story. Honestly, the first 35% was a struggle. I felt trapped in Arabella’s mind, and for a while, the story felt… stuck. But then - everything shifted. Like a giant wheel finally clicking into motion, the plot, the characters, and the entire vibe took a sharp turn...

I read the prequel \"Auctiond To The Vampire\", so when I started this book it felt like coming home. When Arabella was little she wandered out of the woods, surrounding Shadowban. She was raised by and brought up as an enchantress. She and the other enchantresses, her family, use their elemental power to protect the people of Shadowbank and maintain the ward around the city. After another monster attack a tear forms in the ward. Lacking the knowledge and power to fix it Arabella makes a...

Ok so I read the novella Auctioned to The Vampire and liked it a lot, but this book? No, I loved this book! I literally couldn't stop reading.

I've read a couple books but man I just didn't want to stop. I literally am so mad about what happened. This book is so good it keeps you on your toes, but also it makes you so sad. Because you have chapters where...
