When everyone already thinks you're a monster, it's easy to let that monster free...
Born to inherit the Kings' empire, my birthright was stolen by my ruthless younger brother upon Papà’s death. Tired of lurking in his shadow, the upcoming war offers the perfect opportunity for me to seize back my throne.
That's when Rose storms into my life—a wild, unpredictable force of nature, a tantalizing distraction I can't afford but can't resist. She was meant to be nothing more than a fling, a fleeting escape from the dark world I inhabit.
But when my enemies cross the line and dare to lay their hands on her, all bets are off.
Unleashing the monster I keep buried deep inside, I'll stop at nothing to protect what's mine. Because in a world that's branded me a villain, there's no reason not to embrace the darkness.
