When scholar Lira shatters the ancient seal of the Ashen Veil, she unleashes a warlord long buried in shadow. Kael is no ordinary fae his power once tore realms apart, and his curse keeps him caught between life and nothingness. To contain the force she’s set free, Lira must bind his spirit through forbidden rites that blur the line between faith and desire.
As danger closes in, trust becomes their most fragile weapon. The Veil itself feeds on what they feel every breath, every trembling touch. And the deeper Lira steps into Kael’s world, the more she learns his curse wasn’t punishment at all, but a choice he made to atone.
When the courts of shadow rise to reclaim him, Lira must decide: sever the bond that keeps them alive or surrender to a love that could destroy them both.
In a world where magic burns hotter than truth, can devotion survive the darkness it awakens?
***
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.
