Crown of Light and Ashes (Kingdom of Shadows #1)

I stepped into the Shadow Court to save my brother. I didnt expect to walk out as the bride of the monster who killed the man I loved.

Kaan is the ruthless Lord of Shadows—ancient, merciless, and terrifyingly beautiful. He murdered Aslan with a smile on his lips and my name on his tongue. Then he claimed me as payment for a blood debt.

Now, Im his wife in black silk and silver chains. Owned. Caged. Watched.

And on our wedding night, he doesnt ask. He takes—my body, my breath, my resistance—until I break. His mouth. His rules. His shadows, wrapping around me like a noose.

I swore Id kill him. Instead, Im moaning his name in the dark.

Because monsters like him dont make love. They unmake you. But Kaan doesnt want love. He wants devotion. He wants me to beg.

And the worst part? I think I will.
