He’s the dusk-crowned villain I should fear and the pull I can’t outrun.
I should’ve left the iron box buried beneath the rowan roots.
But the whispers wouldn’t stop.
One cut from a strange dagger.
One magical mirror.
And I fall into a world that sees me as something to claim.
I land in the Dusk King’s castle, surrounded by enemies who already know what I’m worth in a war I never chose.
King Kairos, devastatingly handsome and as cold as carved ice, names me trespasser and locks me in an icy dungeon. Whatever he plans for me, I’m not meant to walk away.
I risk an escape.
But when the Night Court attacks Dusk, everything erupts into chaos, shattering my chance.
Suddenly, I’m a pawn between two ruthless kings. And despite everything, the pull between me and Kairos feels older than choice.
Now I must decide—stand against the king who could destroy me, or stand with him and burn everything else to the ground.
Either way, I won’t be the girl who bows.
No matter the cost.
