A THIEF BROKE INTO HIS CASTLE. HE TURNED HER INTO HIS QUEEN.
I came to the Obsidian Citadel for one reason: steal the Sun Stone and save my dying sister.
I did not come to get caught.
Malrion, the High Lord of Night, rules a starving city from a throne that feeds on him. Three centuries of power, violence, and sacrifice have left him lethal, exhausted, and untouchable. Until I step into his world with a dagger in my hand and no magic in my blood. A human null who should not survive his wards. A mistake the court cannot explain.
He should have executed me.
Instead, he offers a bargain.
Play his consort long enough to lure a royal spy into the open, and he will give me the cure.
The lie should be simple. Smile at his side. Sleep behind locked doors. Pretend my heartbeat does not react when his fingers brush my skin.
But the bond between us is not pretend.
It is heat under my ribs. Gold on my veins. A pull that feels like destiny, and a warning that feels like a trap.
Because Malrion is not a hero. He is a king who bleeds memory into the Throne to keep the Void from devouring his realm. He protects his court with shadows and steel, and he does not hesitate to sacrifice pawns to save the crown.
And I might be the most valuable pawn he has ever held.
As the Black Sun swallows the sky and the West Wall begins to crack, the spy closes in, the court turns vicious, and Malrion's control starts to slip. Every stolen moment in his private wing tastes like sandalwood and ozone. Every touch makes me forget where the exits are.
I came to take the sun and run.
Now I am standing between a dying king and a darkness that wants him broken.
If the traitor strikes, I will have one final choice.
Save my sister and lose myself.
Or choose the man who feels like home, and risk becoming the reason his world burns.
