She came to heal his heart. He was destined to destroy hers.
Elena Rosewood has spent her entire life being told she isn't enough.
Not beautiful enough. Not powerful enough. Not worthy enough to be chosen.
After losing everything she once called home, Elena makes herself a promise: she will never again allow another person to determine her worth.
But fate has other plans.
One stormy night, she saves a mysterious stranger whose eyes hold more darkness than any human being should possess.
His name is Lucien Blackthorne.
He is the most feared man in the kingdom of Nocthera, the heir to an ancient throne, and the keeper of a terrible secret.
Every woman who has ever loved him has paid a devastating price.
Lucien has sworn never to love again.
Until Elena.
She challenges him. She infuriates him. She sees through the cold mask he has spent years perfecting.
And for the first time in centuries, the curse surrounding his bloodline begins to weaken.
But as Elena falls deeper into Lucien's dangerous world, she discovers that her own past is tied to the royal family in ways she could never have imagined.
Someone has been lying to her.
Someone has been waiting for her.
And someone will do anything to ensure she never discovers the truth.
Now Elena must choose between the man who makes her heart race and the truth that could destroy everything she believes about herself.
Because some curses are broken by love.
Others are broken by the courage to walk away.
In a kingdom where love is dangerous, the most powerful magic may be learning to love yourself.
Enter the world of The Devil's Heir, where passion is forbidden, betrayal runs through royal blood, and one woman's greatest transformation could change the fate of an entire kingdom.
