A girl with no magic. A king with no humanity. A curse that has claimed seven lifetimes. Twenty-year-old Elowynn has known only scullery rags and the scorn of temple priests who call her a Hollow, a useless void in a world ruled by elemental magic. But when the shadowy order of Eternals demands a spell-less bride as tribute for the cursed King of Ashfall, Elowynn is sent to the borderlands as a sacrificial lamb. She expects death in the cold, bone-carved castle. She does not expect her blood to awaken a forbidden power; the Void itself, or to mark her as the world’s most dangerous living weapon. King Draven Blackthorn was once a hero. Now, he is a man drowning in silver-eyed coldness by day and transforming into a memory-erasing monster by night. For fifty years, his curse has driven him into absolute solitude. Elowynn is the first person who doesn't run from the beast, and the only one whose touch can ground the man within. As their unspoken connection deepens into a searing, slow-burn passion, a horrifying truth emerges: Elowynn is not merely a bride. Surrounded by secret assassins, lingering ghosts, and a dark entity whispering inside her mind, Elowynn and Draven must break a cycle of betrayal that spans centuries. To save the man who bound his soul to hers, Elowynn must embrace the darkness in her blood, or risk unmaking reality itself.
