Mystery Book - Dark Romance #101

A curse. A dangerous journey. A mercenary who may be her only chance to survive.

In a world where an ancient barrier is beginning to fail, something dark is slipping through—and demons are stalking the night.

Sorrel has spent her life as an outcast, feared by the people in her village because of the strange magic she carries. She has never wanted to be a hero. She only wants a place where she belongs.

Then Fate chooses her for something far greater.

Marked by a curse, Sorrel must cross a monster-filled wasteland carrying a mysterious crown and deliver it to a powerful queen who may be the only person capable of saving their world.

There is just one problem: she needs someone dangerous enough to get her there.

Enter a brooding mercenary with a reputation for looking out for himself—and secrets of his own.

To secure his protection, Sorrel makes a bargain that is far more intimate than either of them expected.

But the journey is filled with enemies, betrayal, hidden magic, and a growing attraction neither can ignore.

And the closer they get to the truth, the more Sorrel begins to wonder:

Was she chosen to save the world—or to destroy it?
