**Prequel to The Shadowed Throne Chronicles**
In a kingdom cursed with the ashes of an ancient war, love's tender grasp transforms into a malevolent blade, while the seductive allure of forbidden magic ensnares all who dare to indulge.
Burdened by the scars of a haunted ancestry, Prince Azriel wields his disdain for all things magical like a dark shield. With his coronation looming on the horizon and a marriage arranged for him, he remains oblivious to the perils of truly falling in love.
But destiny intervenes. When Azriel stumbles upon the kingdom's best-kept secret, he becomes entangled with an irresistible lust for the one person he can never have.
Loyalties perish, a tainted romance blossoms, and a battle between passion and betrayal unfolds.
Wounds are left in its wake, and they are deeper than Azriel could've ever anticipated.
