Forced back by family debt, Lyric enters a contract marriage with the ruthless King Jaris—only to realize he was her one-night stranger.

But the secrets run deeper: Lyric’s presumed-dead twins are alive, stolen by Marta to claim the throne. And from the shadows, Jaris’s exiled brother Caden is returning with a blood-drinking army to burn it all down.
