A cursed knight. A reluctant bride. A war born from monsters, gods, and forbidden magic.

For nearly a century, Lord Cedric du Romulus has hunted the supernatural while hiding the truth of what he is: one of Sorceress Morrighan's abominations. Revered as a knight and feared by those who know too much, Cedric has only one purpose left-find the monster who made him and end her.

Then he wins the king's tournament and is bound in marriage to Angeline, a lady of the court with dormant magic in her veins.

Angeline knows Cedric is not human. Her memories are fractured by magic, her fear sharpened by secrets, and her new husband is as short-tempered as he is dangerous. Yet the longer she travels beside him, the more she glimpses the pain beneath his rage-and the man beneath the monster.

But Cedric's incubine bloodline twists desire, loyalty, and love into something he cannot trust. Are his feelings for Angeline real, or another curse written into his body?

As succubi, werewolves, battle goddesses, and forgotten horrors gather in the shadows, Cedric must decide whether to keep fighting alone-or trust the woman fate placed at his side.

Perfect for readers who love dark fantasy romance, medieval mythology, tortured monster heroes, arranged marriage tension, and paranormal worlds soaked in old legends.
