The slow-burn, villain-gets-the-girl dark fantasy breakout TikTok sensation perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer L. Armentrout!

Captured by a king of darkness. Forced to find the light within.

Arwen Valondale never thought she’d be the one to sacrifice herself but to save her brother, she offers her life and is taken prisoner by the ruthless Onyx King. Now, trapped in enemy territory, she’s forced to use her rare healing magic to aid his brutal soldiers.

Escape seems impossible. The ancient, wicked woods that surround the castle are more dangerous than the kingdom itself, and her only possible ally is a cunning, infuriating fellow prisoner who seems to enjoy tormenting her as much as he wants to help her.

But in the Onyx Kingdom, trust is a luxury, and survival means navigating back-stabbing royals, dark magic, and monstrous beasts. Yet within Arwen lies a dormant power, waiting to be awakened. If she can harness it, she might finally break free and she might not have to do it alone.
