A dangerous man has laid claim to her, and he’ll ruin anyone who dares try to take her from him. Aria Thorne’s healing touch is a miracle, a gift so extraordinary that it draws the attention of the king himself. Any hope for the quiet life she’s always longed for vanishes the moment she is summoned to Ravenhelm as the Imperial Healer—and steps into the Sovereign’s bedchamber. Rylik is more than the king’s deadly right hand—he is a predator cloaked in power, with eyes that pierce and a voice that promises ruin. When Aria discovers the secret he hides beneath his cold, unyielding armor, he doesn’t kill her. Instead, he wants to claim her. Body and soul. Bound to him by an unbreakable tether, Aria becomes his obsession, his prisoner, and, inevitably, the object of his darkest desires. His touch sets her aflame, his hunger devours her, and the line between fear and desire blurs. But Rylik isn’t the only trap tightening around her. The Rebellion has marked her as a pawn in their war against the crown, forcing her to tread a deadly line between secrets, survival, and a game of power and passion. Caught between a man who will never let her go and a cause she never wanted to fight for, Aria must risk her life to escape the Sovereign’s dark grasp or surrender to the forbidden pleasure of his hold. In Ravenhelm, desire is as dangerous as the secrets it hides—and every choice is part of a wicked game too intoxicating to resist.
