He is the King of the secret society I swore to destroy. He made me his contract bride to save my life-or to burn me with his empire.
When the Castor family and their allies shattered the inner circle of the Consortium, they left a dangerous vacuum at the top of the world's most powerful secret society. Now, a new Supreme Chairman has ascended the throne: Julian The Sovereign Thorne.
Cold, untouchable, and ruthlessly calculating, Julian is feared as a billionaire who feels nothing and sees everyone as pawns on a chessboard.
When former Consortium lawyer and whistleblower Elena Winters is captured and brought before the High Council for public execution, she expects no mercy. Instead, Julian invokes an ancient legal decree: he claims Elena as his binding Contract Bride.
To the elders, Julian is bringing a traitor to heel.
To Elena, she has just been shackled to the devil himself-locked inside Julian's fortified Alpine castle in Switzerland as his captive wife.
What no one knows is that Julian Thorne is a king who hates his own crown. For ten years, he has been secretly orchestrating the Consortium's destruction from within to avenge his mother's murder. And Elena isn't his prisoner-she is the final, brilliant strategist he needs to pull the trigger on a conspiracy that will incinerate the entire secret society forever.
Trapped in a fake marriage that feels terrifyingly real, surrounded by assassins in a frozen citadel, Julian and Elena must play a deadly game of deception. But as cold strategy turns into consuming, obsessive love, Julian faces the ultimate choice: destroy the empire he swore to burn, or sacrifice everything to keep his bride alive.
VOWS OF ASHES is the epic finale (Book 3) in The Consortium Vows series by Sandeep Rao. It is a full-length Dark Contract Bride Romance featuring:
