Love is the deadliest curse of all.
In the shadow of Eryndale Castle, where ancient curses whisper through crumbling stone, historian Elara Veyne uncovers a secret that ties her bloodline to a tragedy centuries old. The heir, Kaelen Eryndale, is as brooding as the storm-locked fortress he rules-and just as dangerous.
Their forbidden attraction ignites a passion that could shatter the curse haunting his family... or doom them both. As shadows stir and a vengeful enemy rises, Elara must choose: betray the man she loves or watch the curse consume everything.
