Courting Death and Destruction
From bestselling author Emily Shore comesa dark romantasy featuring a true 'enemies-to-lovers-sharing-one-bed' forced marriage with mental health awareness.
Will I conquer the Dragon Prince of Destruction and make him my warrior, or will I share the dark fate of his past murdered brides?
I just wanted to spend my life rescuing children from human blood farms and vampire courts...
...until the father of all vampires and his son, Neoptolemus, the Prince of Destruction, destroyed my home and family.
Now, it’s time for some righteous revenge.
When the Mother Goddess offers me my revenge on a gold platter in the form of a magical Halo, I take it. I will embrace this heavenly hula hoop with its star-fire power, become Neo's bride, and share his bed. I will learn his weaknesses and then kill him. I'm sure it's just an urban legend that he can turn into a dragon.
Did I mention how the Prince is sex-on-a-vampire-stick and just my type? If only he wasn't a bloodthirsty warrior who destroys all his brides.
The Halo doesn't get the hint!
I keep shedding stardust and lighting up like a Christmas tree whenever he's around. Perhaps...there is more to his destructive mask.
Can I break the patriarchal bond with his father and claim him as my warrior instead? If I fail, the Father will use Neo to destroy me, and with my halo power, he will enslave the world for eternity...
From Fourth Wing to Tethered to A Court of Mist and Fury, readers will fall in love with this slow-burn but steamy forbidden love story where the age-old fairytale gets a modern facelift to prove the princess can save the dragon.
