Lira Everen is a thief with cursed blood and nothing left to lose-until she's captured by the Shadow Court and forced into service as their Bound Ember. Her punishment? Not death. Obedience. Pleasure. Power.They don't want her fear. They want her devotion. Four fae lords-merciless, monstrous, and intoxicating-take her apart piece by piece, until desire becomes weapon, and submission becomes sanctuary.But Lira doesn't break. She burns. And the more they try to tame her, the more she consumes them in return.Each lord touches a different part of her soul. The silent one haunts her dreams. The cruel one makes her beg. The beautiful one worships her shame. And the bone king? He bleeds for her.As her power grows, so does her hunger-for control, for ruin, for love that cuts deeper than any dagger. Bound in darkness, Lira must choose: surrender to the shadows... or rise as their queen.They wanted her body.They never expected to kneel.
