For generations, the Black Veil has divided the mortal kingdoms from Vharos. Now it is collapsing, the border war is bleeding both realms dry, and something older than either side is beginning to wake beneath the weakening magic. There is only one way to restore it. Marriage. You are bound to Vaelor Draven, the ancient Demon King feared in every mortal story. He is ruthless, arrogant, powerful, impossible to read, and genuinely unpleasant to you from the moment you enter his court. He does not want a mortal spouse. He does not trust you. He does not care whether you like him. Half of Vharos is already placing bets on how long you will last. Then the wedding awakens an ancient bond neither kingdom fully understood. Now you are trapped inside the Obsidian Court with nobles waiting for you to fail, a husband who seems determined to make your life difficult, and a magical connection that grows stronger every day. Vaelor is hard to approach. Harder to understand. And nearly impossible to love. Which becomes increasingly inconvenient when the fate of two realms depends on you learning how.
