Pre-Revolutionary Paris is a powder keg, but for Aurélie Deschamps, a gifted goldsmith, the true danger lies not in mortal whispers of rebellion, but in the ancient magic stirring within her exquisite creations. When a dangerous political conspiracy implicates her family, she finds herself under the reluctant protection of Valerius, the enigmatic High Lord of a hidden Fae realm, bound by a debilitating curse.
Forced into proximity within the clandestine Palais de la Lune, their initial animosity threatens to consume them, even as the fragile balance between the Fae and mortal worlds teeters on the brink. Aurélie’s burgeoning powers, a birthright she’s only beginning to understand, become crucial in unravelling the High Court's dark secrets and the true nature of Valerius's curse. An ancient curse demands a genuine emotional sacrifice, one that will redefine her understanding of love and power, and demand an impossible choice that could cost her everything. If she fails, both realms face an irreversible darkness.
Discover a spellbinding tale of forbidden romance, intricate court politics, and a young woman’s journey to embrace her true heritage in a world on the cusp of revolution. Immerse yourself in a slow-burning enemies-to-lovers story where ancient magic and devastating curses collide.
