When a mortal healer trades her life to save her dying brother, she braces for chains and cold stone. Instead, she finds herself in the gilded cage of the Night Court under the watch of a fae prince whose cursed power feeds on her very breath. His hunger is endless. Her life-force is the only tether keeping his shadows from devouring him.

What starts as survival soon shifts into something neither planned. Each touch fuels his magic. Each breath she surrenders pulls her further into his orbit. The courtiers watch with sharp smiles, eager for her to fall, while enemies whisper ruin from the dark corners of the hall.

She calls it duty. He calls it need. But the truth is more dangerous than both an unyielding bond that fuses soul to soul, desire to desire, until surrender feels as fatal as resistance.

In a land where bargains wound and vows can kill, can her fire hold back his shadows or will their desire spark a war that consumes them both?

***

Step into Courts of Desire and Shadow where every love story is its own perilous legend.

In the hidden world of the fae, passion cuts as deep as power. Behind walls of shadow and fire, pacts are sealed with blood, crowns bear lethal curses, and desire burns hotter than any spell. Each tale reveals a love that risks kingdoms and rewrites destiny, threading together betrayal, temptation, and magic that clings to the skin like smoke. From ruthless princes to cursed brides, from shadowed rulers to silver-eyed prophets, one truth rules their realm nothing’s more dangerous, or more tempting, than desire.
