The bride of Nérath

She was promised to the King of Shadows to save two kingdoms.

No one told her she was the only one powerful enough to destroy him.

Aelys has spent her life hidden at the edge of Astréa’s glittering court, haunted by dreams of sealed doors, living darkness, and a mysterious mark burning beneath her skin.

Then the envoys of Nérath arrive.

An ancient pact demands that Aelys leave everything behind—including Maël, the only man she has ever trusted—and travel north to marry an immortal king feared as a monster.

Vael has ruled Nérath for centuries, holding back the darkness imprisoned beneath his palace. Shadows obey him, the night answers his call, and every year the ancient curse consumes more of the man he once was.

Aelys was meant to strengthen the seal keeping that darkness contained.

Instead, her arrival begins to awaken it.

Drawn together by a bond neither of them chose, Aelys and Vael must uncover the truth buried beneath generations of lies. But the closer she comes to the Shadow King, the harder it becomes to separate duty from desire, compassion from danger, and fate from her own forbidden heart.

Because the darkness does not merely hunger for freedom.

It remembers her.

The Bride of Nérath is an atmospheric adult romantasy featuring an arranged royal marriage, an immortal cursed king, living shadows, forbidden magic, political intrigue, a slow-burning fated bond, and a heroine determined to choose her own destiny.

Perfect for readers who love gothic kingdoms, morally complex heroes, dangerous magic, emotional love triangles, and epic romances shaped by sacrifice.
