Crown of Cinders. A Shifter Romantasy of a Marriage of Alliance, a Throne Worth Burning For, and the Power She Was Never Meant to Hold

Paranormal Romance - slow burn romance, happily ever after, swoony romance reads. A desperate Ash noblewoman, a venom prince bound by blood feud, and a bargain that could save her brother-or doom them all. Fated mates, fake engagement, one-night stand, enemies to lovers. In a realm where poison runs in royal veins and curses are woven into the bone, Elara Vance will do anything to break the blight consuming her twin brother.
Even if it means kneeling before the one man her family taught her to despise: Prince Kael, the heir of House Viper, whose kiss can kill-or cure. When Elara offers herself as a bride in exchange for his venom's antidote, Kael agrees to a fake engagement that scandalizes both courts. But their charade ignites a primal bond neither can deny: the fated-mates pull that snaps into place the night of their first touch.
One desperate night of passion becomes a one-night stand neither can forget-a night that leaves Elara carrying more than secrets. Yet as she builds a home in Kael's ruined fortress, she uncovers a devastating truth: her brother's disease was no accident. It was a curse born from her own bloodline's betrayal. Now she faces an impossible choice: trust the prince who holds her heart and her brother's life in his hands, or walk away to protect them both from a sacrifice that will demand everything-including the home they've only just begun to build.
Tropes: Fated mates, fake engagement, one-night stand, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, marriage of convenience, touch-her-and-die prince, curse-breaking romance, slow-burn with bite. The Dominion Duet continues in A Throne of Ash and Thorn. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Scarlett St. Clair, and Raven Kennedy who crave dark paranormal romance with high stakes, morally gray heroes, and heroines who will burn the world for family.
