Once Upon a Demon's Heart
From USA bestselling author K.M. Moronova comes a delicious arranged-marriage romantasy.
In a world ravaged by war and ruled by vengeful gods, love is both a weapon and a curse…
Haunted by her role in a massacre that reignited an ancient war, demigod knight Alira is cursed to relive her kingdom's destruction―dying again and again at the hands of the Blood Knight, a ruthless demon commander. But when the demons propose a peace marriage to end the bloodshed, Alira volunteers herself, desperate to break the cycle and save her people.
Betrothed to her enemy―who is also the lost demon boy she once tried to save―Alira must navigate a dangerous path between vengeance and forgiveness. Kalel Lornhelm, haunted by his own dark past and the monstrous hunger within him, is torn between hatred and a growing, forbidden attraction.
As assassins close in, gods interfere, and the threat of betrayal hangs over their union, Alira and Kalel are forced to confront their intertwined destinies and the curse that binds them. Can their love bring peace to Faultore, or will it doom them all?

K.M. Moronova
K. M. Moronova has quickly carved out a space in the world of dark fantasy and romantic suspense, where every page feels like stepping into a storm, equal parts danger, beauty, and aching vulnerability. Her stories linger on the edge of shadow and desire, balancing gothic atmospheres with intimate human struggles. Readers often describe her books as haunting yet tender, the kind you carry long after closing the final chapter.
Raised in Montana, Moronova’s roots in wide open landscapes and quiet forests inform the mood of her writing. She often shares glimpses of her process, long walks with her dogs, tea steaming beside her notes, afternoons spent pressing flowers in her garden, all of which quietly find their way into her worlds. In her novels, love is rarely simple, morality is never clear, and characters are allowed to be both broken and brave.
