Not all love stories begin with white gowns. On her third wedding day, Liliette wears black, mourning one husband as she takes another. Her third vow seals a fate tangled in shadows, and her new husband may be the beginning of her darkest tragedy yet. Cursed and discarded by her father, she’s sent to a remote fortress to marry Duke Vladimir de Winter—a man more feared than the monsters he hunts. He demands one thing: that she wear a blindfold whenever he enters her chamber. But in the dark, Liliette feels something forbidden. A spark of desire, a flicker of connection. His touch awakens emotions she thought long dead and a question she’s afraid to ask. Is she cursed, or has she been claimed?
