About this book

In a shattered parallel timeline, the world bleeds under the iron fist of Mercury Linnaeus. As the malevolent ruler tightens his grip, the ancient Fae are the last line of defense against the savage, god-like Vanir. With the Fae’s resistance crumbling and their resolve fading, the future of their realm hangs by a thread. Amidst this encroaching darkness, an unlikely and volatile connection forms between two men on opposite sides of a blood-soaked war: Nathaniel, a disgraced Fae heir, and Eiríkr, the tainted son of the tyrant Mercury. Their relationship is a high-stakes, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers struggle, defined by deep-seated trauma and the weight of their warring legacies. As they navigate a landscape of political intrigue and mounting violence, they must confront whether their burgeoning bond can survive the corruption of their world—or if their clashing loyalties will ultimately tear them apart. Perfect for fans of gritty dark fantasy, this steamy, character-driven prequel offers a raw, emotional exploration of morality and survival. Through evocative prose and intense tension, it paints a haunting picture of a world where hope is a dangerous commodity and the most powerful weapon is a forbidden connection.
