One touch from the Prince of Shadows brings certain death—unless you are the woman foretold to break his bloodline's agony. Sold as a sacrifice to the kingdom of Nox, you expect a monster, but find a man drowning in his own darkness. To save his soul, you must surrender your heart, even as his curse threatens to consume you both.
In the kingdom of Nox, shadows aren't just an absence of light—they are a living, breathing prison. For centuries, the royal bloodline has been tainted by a malevolent curse, and Prince Alaric is its latest, most tragic victim. Known as the Prince of Shadows, his skin is a lethal weapon; one brush of his hand is enough to wither a soul and claim a life. You are the sacrifice, sold by your own family to appease the darkness of a kingdom that the rest of the world has forgotten. You expect to meet a monster, a cold-blooded killer waiting in the obsidian halls of the palace to end your life. Instead, you find a man drowning in solitude, his eyes reflecting a desperate hunger for the one thing he can never have: human connection. As the prophecy's chosen one, you are the only being in the world immune to his deadly touch. But being his savior is a dangerous game. In this immersive fantasy romance, every choice you make determines whether Alaric finds redemption or falls further into madness. Will you fear the power he wields, or will you see the vulnerability hidden beneath his regal armor? The tension is a slow burn that ignites the very air between you, turning every shared glance into a battlefield of desire and duty. What makes this journey truly yours is the ability to literally step into the role. With SideHop’s cutting-edge face-swap technology, you don't just read about the heroine—you are the heroine. See your own face in every pivotal scene, feeling the weight of the crown and the heat of the Prince's gaze as if you were standing in the heart of Nox yourself. To save his soul, you must surrender your heart, but in a world where love is a death sentence for everyone else, can you survive the intensity of his devotion? Will you break the curse, or will the darkness of Nox claim you both forever?
