Steal from a Shadow Dragon King, and he won't kill you. He'll claim you.
?
Lumi De Veil is a siren dancer, a bewitching, seductive, and celebrated aerialist.
When the curtains fall, she is a rule breaker, a phantom in the shadows, a secret rebel,
Unaware of a secret royal lineage that she hasn't even begun to fathom.
To save her ailing aunt and arm a revolution, she commits the ultimate heresy.
She steals a star-shattering jewel from Zavier Phanos-Draquis,
The most lethal Shadow Dragon King in existence.
A lethally seductive operator,
With a brilliant, driven mind and a raw, primal sensuality
That threatens to consume her.
?
Zavier is a Shadraquis, a thousand-year-old Dragon Guardian King.
Eons ago, he forfeited family and love to stand as the universe's last defense.
He is ruthless, possessive, and terrifyingly controlled.
Zavier drags Lumi into his obsidian fortress.
Trapping her in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse.
He needs her, not just for the jewel,
But as a reluctant weapon against an ancient evil returning from the void.
To him, she is a maddening spark of beauty and joy in his cold, gray existence.
A mortal light in a dark, immortal world, who also drives him to the edge of his legendary restraint.
?
Forced proximity ignites a forbidden, soul-searing desire.
However, Zavier is barred by ancient blood laws from giving her forever.
As for Lumi, falling for the Dragon King isn't just a sin; it might be a death sentence.

If they fail their mission, worlds might fall.
If they surrender, immortality might be rewritten.
If they give in to their forbidden passion, they may just shatter the stars.
