About this book
Princess Anya Delemond is tired of her gilded cage. Seeking a fleeting escape from royal expectations, she slips away to the Melusine Manor Masquerade, only to find herself entangled with Roderick Bryson, a noble knight whose heart is as fierce as his blade. Their encounter is brief and anonymous, but fate has a cruel sense of humor. When they are forced to command the crew of the Lupus Star together to secure vital mana stones, their initial animosity threatens to tear the ship apart.
This enchanting shifter romance delivers the perfect blend of high-stakes adventure and cozy, low-angst tension. As Anya and Roderick navigate a dangerous mission to save the children of Balcott, their sharp-tongued rivalry begins to soften into a scorching, undeniable chemistry. It is a classic enemies-to-lovers tale that captures the magic of a forbidden connection between a werewolf princess and her vampire knight.
If you crave a story with deep historical flair, found-family dynamics, and the satisfying ache of a duty-versus-heart dilemma, this is your next obsession. With its swoon-worthy alpha hero, witty banter, and queer-positive world-building, this romantasy is the ultimate escape for readers who love a good sword-clashing romance under the stars.
