Vow of the Cursed King: A Dark Romantasy Arranged Marriage Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798180572097)

She was sold to a monster, but the monster may be the only one who can save her.

Geneva of Ebonvale was never meant to rule.

She was raised as a disposable daughter, a princess useful only when her starving kingdom needed a bargain sealed in blood. To secure grain, iron, and survival for her people, Geneva is sent to the Iron Crags to marry Rhydian Morcant, the cursed king no one speaks of without fear.

She expects a brutal tyrant.

Instead, she finds a man slowly being consumed by the throne he was born to bear.

Rhydian is more myth than monarch, a scarred and dangerous king bound to an ancient darkness that feeds on memory, silence, and sacrifice. He has spent years leaning into the rumors of his monstrosity, using fear as a wall between himself and everyone who might try to save him. Especially his new bride.

But Geneva is no fragile offering.

Behind her icy composure is the mind of a strategist, and she sees what the court hopes she will not. The High Palace is not merely haunted by old traditions. It is built on erased queens, buried vows, and a curse that has been swallowing women whole for generations.

As the winter gates groan beneath eternal frost and the throne begins to whisper, Geneva and Rhydian's forced marriage becomes something far more dangerous than a political alliance. He wants to keep her away from the curse. She wants to uncover the truth before the palace makes her another forgotten name.

To survive the Iron Crags, Geneva must decide whether Rhydian is the monster she was sold to, or the wounded king she was meant to stand beside.

And Rhydian must decide whether loving his bride will save them both, or give the darkness exactly what it has been waiting for.

Vow of the Cursed King is a dark romantasy romance featuring an arranged marriage, a cursed king, a gothic kingdom, Beauty and the Beast tension, deadly court secrets, and a love powerful enough to challenge a throne built on sacrifice.
