Fight. Rule. Protect.
Malrik, heir to the Monstrum Kingdom, was born for the crown. But as tensions rise and the threat of war looms, he knows his kingdom needs more than a ruler—it needs a hero. One who won’t bow to pressure. One who won’t force the gifted to register with the ERA.
With rebellion brewing and his father demanding he take a bride to secure the throne, Malrik’s path grows perilous. Then she appears at the opening ball of Gleam season.
Lyric is a mystery. The daughter of his father’s most powerful government leader, she should be just another political pawn. But the more Malrik gets to know her, the more he realizes this is no mere arrangement.
She’s his mate—the one his soul calls to, the one he will never get enough of.
Lyric is everything he wants.
And her secrets could shatter his kingdom.
**This is a closed door dark fantasy romance and part of the Enchanted Elemental Empires series. It is the first book set in the Monstrum Kingdom.**
