Kingdom of Bone and Ash - A Court-Intrigue Romantasy of a Dragon Bond, a War of Crowns, and the Power She Was Never Meant to Hold

Paranormal Romance — slow burn romance, happily ever after, swoony romance reads. Shadow-blessed prince. Necromancer princess. A vow written in dragon fire that could shatter a kingdom — or bind two cursed hearts forever. When Inara Valdore’s brother is taken by the Sunstone Inquisition, the fanatical order that burned her mother at the stake, she must forge an alliance with the one man she swore to destroy: Prince Kael of the Nightshade Court, the shadow-wielder whose family’s betrayal cost her everything. But her rival cousin, Lyra, has her own agenda, sabotaging the rescue at every turn. As Inara and Kael delve into the forbidden catacombs beneath the obsidian mountains, they uncover an ancient prophecy that ties their bloodlines to a dragon’s dying vow — a bond that could break the curse on Inara’s family or doom them all. The impossible choice: trust the enemy who holds the key to her brother’s rescue, or let her hatred consume the only chance she has left. With Lyra’s knives aimed at her back and the Inquisition closing in, Inara must decide if a heart forged in shadow can ever learn to love the light — or if some vows are meant to be broken. Fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer L. Armentrout will devour this enemies-to-lovers, forced-proximity, forbidden-magic romantasy. Tropes: shadow-daddy hero, necromancer heroine, dragon prophecy, court intrigue, slow-burn romance, and a love that defies death itself. THE COURTS OF VALDORE series continues with Book 2: A Crown of Ash and Ember. Perfect for readers who crave high-stakes fantasy romance with morally gray heroes, fierce heroines, and a world where every kiss could be a curse. Perfect for readers who love **Harley Laroux** and **Liv Zander**.
