Caught in the shifting shadows of his realm, he had searched every corner, every creature bound by destiny's law. The bond promised to him, the soulmate who should have anchored his existence slipped further from reach, elusive as smoke.
Humans were fragile things, sparks splitting against the eternity, and he rarely spared them a thought. Yet fate had wound its thread beyond his comprehension.
A fragile world of mortals, where no soulmate was ever meant to be found.
To her, he did not exist.
To him, she was everything he could not yet grasp.
In a world divided between mortals and the supernatural, her life takes an unexpected turn when the Shadow King discovers she is his mate. As their bond deepens, reality begins to unravel, dragging her into a realm of beauty, danger, and secrets no human was meant to see.
But destiny comes with a price.
Will she survive the pull of shadows or be consumed by them?

He was born royalty a tri-breed prince, the first of his kind. She was just a human girl with fire in her heart and no idea the supernatural world even existed.

But the heat between them only smoldered, scorching beneath every stolen glance, every gift left without a name, every moment she didn't understand and every one he couldn't stop himself from creating. Because some bonds don't wait. And love like theirs? It burns before it blooms.
