<p><b>She entered his court with a blade and a death wish. He let her in knowing exactly what she planned.</b></p><p>Every hundred years, the Kingdom of Light is forced to send five human tributes deep into the Shadow Realm to compete in the Eclipse Games - a brutal tournament where survival is a miracle and victory means an eternity bound to the most feared ruler alive.</p><p><b>Lorelai is not here to win.</b></p><p>Chosen as one of the five, she carries a single hidden mission: infiltrate the Shadow Court, get close enough to strike, and drive a blade through Lord Kasian's heart. Breaking the ancient curse that has enslaved her people matters more than her life. More than anything.</p><p>Her plan begins to collapse during the very first trial.</p><p><b>An ancient Fated Mates bond ignites between them - violent, undeniable, and impossible to refuse.</b> Worse, Kasian sees through her immediately. He reads her murderous intent before she speaks a word.</p><p>He lets her try anyway.</p><p><b>What follows is a game neither of them was prepared to play.</b> As the trials grow deadlier and Lorelai advances deeper into his court, she begins to suspect that the monster she was sent to destroy may not be what her kingdom told her - and that the curse binding her people has origins far darker and more complicated than a tyrant's cruelty.</p><p>She came to end him.</p><p><b>She never expected him to be the only one willing to protect her.</b></p><p><i>A dark high-fantasy romantasy of deadly trials, shadow magic, and a bond neither of them chose - for readers who like their love interests morally grey, their heroines dangerous, and their slow burns worth the wait.</i></p>
