Overview

A ruthless princess who needs a weapon. A broken wizard who fears his own power. And a love fated to burn the world down. She wanted a monster to win her throne. She didn't expect him to steal her soul. Princess Shammu is the Scion of Assyria-a warrior, a general, and a woman fighting for her life in a court of vipers. To secure her claim to the throne against her sadistic brother, she needs a weapon more powerful than steel. She finds him in the ashes of a ruined city. Ashur is the last wizard of Babylon. Broken by a sin that destroyed his family, he has sworn never to use his magic again. He is a man hollowed out by guilt, waiting for death. Instead, he gets her. Captured, chained, and dragged to Nineveh, Ashur becomes Shammu's prisoner, her project, and her obsession. She doesn't want his surrender; she wants his rage. She will torture, manipulate, and seduce the monster out of him, even if it means breaking the man. But as the ""Royal Cycle""-a cursed, ancient fate-binds them together, the line between captor and captive blurs. Ashur is the only one who sees the terrified girl beneath the General's armor. And Shammu is the only one who looks at his destructive magic and calls it beautiful. When a coup threatens to destroy them both, Shammu makes a desperate, suicidal gamble. She unleashes the god she has created. Now, she has the throne, she has the power, and she has the monster. But the monster has her. Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing and The Serpent and the Wings of Night, this is a spicy, dark fantasy romance about the violence of power and the terrifying possession of love. TRIGGER WARNING: This book contains graphic violence, torture, past trauma, and explicit sexual content (Heat Level: 4/5). It explores dark themes of control and captivity.
