Crown of Ash (Blood & Betrayal #1)

　　Some are born into the light. Others were destined to rule the dark.

　　I am the prince of shadows, laying waste to armies, wielding power, and reveling in the chaos of war. I spent centuries building my kingdom, wading through blood and ash to keep it safe. My life is a tapestry of betrayal and loss, and I’ve carried it alone.

　　Always alone.

　　Until him.

　　He was just another human—a victim of a demon I should have killed long ago. But there’s fire in him. Stubborn, maddening strength that draws me closer, even when I know I should stay away. His scars reflect my own, and his defiance unravels me, breaking through the walls I swore would never fall.

　　He’s a spark in the darkness I’ve embraced, challenging everything I thought I knew about myself.

　　For him, I’ll destroy the very shadows that define me.

　　For Dane, I’ll risk it all.
