Bị bán cho Triều đình Unseelie như một vật hiến tế máu, bạn phát hiện ra mình là con người duy nhất có thể sống sót trước cái chạm băng giá, chết người của vị hoàng tử. Valerius Thorne không cần một cô dâu; hắn cần ma thuật bóng tối bị cấm của bạn để giành lại ngai vàng hắc thạch sắc nhọn của mình—ngay cả khi việc tước đoạt nó có thể khiến bạn mất mạng.
You were never meant to survive the winter solstice. Sold as a blood-tithe to the Unseelie Court, your life was forfeit the moment you crossed the veil into a land of eternal twilight and jagged obsidian. In this world of cruel beauty and ancient bargains, you are nothing more than a sacrifice to the Prince of Shadows, Valerius Thorne. But when his fingers brush your skin, the unthinkable happens: you don’t shatter into ice. In a court where his touch is a lethal, freezing sentence, you are the anomaly—the only human who can withstand his frost. Valerius is a king without a crown, a lethal predator who views you not as a bride, but as a vessel for his own salvation. He needs the forbidden shadow-magic dormant in your veins to reclaim his jagged obsidian throne, a power so volatile it could consume you both. Every moment in his presence is a dance on the edge of a blade. As you navigate the treacherous politics of the Fae, you’ll realize that in this game of power, your heart is the ultimate stakes. With SideHop’s revolutionary face-swap technology, you aren’t just reading about the sacrifice—you are the one standing in the center of the storm. You can upload your own photo to see yourself as the protagonist, making every icy touch and heated glance feel breathtakingly real. This interactive romance story puts you in control of your destiny. Will you let the Prince use you to rebuild his empire, even if the cost is your very soul? Can you find a way to melt the ice around his blackened heart before the extraction claims your life? In the Unseelie Court, love is a weakness, and survival is a sin. Can you tame the prince of death, or will you become another ghost in his frozen halls? Your destiny is written in shadows, and the Prince is tired of waiting.
