“No matter the era, you will always be the one I choose.”
Adeline Rose had crafted the perfect escape plan:
Step one—eliminate the tyrant on the throne.
Step two—disappear into freedom and never look back.
But nothing ever goes according to plan. Especially not when a mysterious, dangerously alluring man steals your blade right before the deed.
Elias Luxton, the fearsome ruler of Wraith, was known across empires for his ruthlessness and chilling reputation. The shadows obeyed him, and rumors called him inhuman.
Adeline, once a princess of a fallen kingdom, carried the weight of tragedy in her blood. Betrayed, orphaned, and overthrown, she crossed borders seeking survival, not a second chance at fate.
Yet fate had other ideas.
Elias insists he knows her—intimately, irrevocably—but she remembers nothing. She wants him gone. He wants her as his queen.
She came to end his reign.
He plans to make her part of it.
Trapped between a cursed past and a dangerously seductive future, Adeline must decide: flee and survive, or stay and confront everything she swore she’d escape… including her heart.
