Bound To The Shadowed Heir
Sold like a cursed pawn to save her dying kingdom, sheltered princess Elara Voss is forced into marriage with the most feared man in the realm — Prince Darius Blackthorn, the Devil’s Heir.
Whispers say he carries demonic blood. That misfortune and death follow wherever he walks. That any woman who shares his bed never survives the night.
On their wedding night, Elara expects a monster. Instead she finds a cold, scarred man who refuses to force her… even as his own ruthless family demands proof of consummation. But when a dying messenger brings news that Elara’s mother is in mortal danger because of this alliance, and deadly intruders shatter their chamber door, Elara realizes the real devils wear crowns and smile with perfect teeth.
Trapped in a palace of poison, betrayal, and sibling wars, Elara must survive the cutthroat Blackthorn family while slowly uncovering the truth behind Darius’s dark reputation. As threats close in from every side — his scheming half-siblings, his tyrannical father, and her own father’s secret betrayal — an unexpected bond begins to form between the cursed princess and the devil she was warned never to trust.
In a world where love is the most dangerous weapon of all, how far will Elara go to protect her mother… and how much of her heart will she surrender to the man everyone calls the Devil’s son?
One marriage. One deadly secret. And a palace filled with monsters wearing human faces.
Will their fragile alliance become their salvation… or their final ruin?
