A Lullaby For The Wicked: Where Monsters Learn to Listen
"He hears every agony of the world. She is the only sound he wants to listen to."
In a kingdom built on screams, silence is the deadliest weapon.
Kaelen Thorne is the monster mothers whisper about to keep their children quiet. As the feared Shadow General of Ouroboros, he is cursed to hear the pain of an entire kingdom at once-a roar that never stops, never softens, and is slowly tearing his mind apart.
Then he hears Lyra Vane sing.
Lyra is a Lullaby: a rare voice with the power to still the Noise in his head. She is not courted, and she is not won. She is requisitioned-taken from her village, locked in a gilded conservatory at the heart of the Citadel of Echoes, and ordered to sing for the General every night at midnight.
He is cold, brutal, and alone inside his own power. She is watchful, stubborn, and refuses to be afraid of the dark.
But every song pulls them closer, and the bond forming between them is older and hungrier than either of them understands. In the shadows of the Citadel, Lyra discovers that the man they call The Silence is hiding a heart once meant for poetry-and Kaelen realizes that the girl he took to be his cure may be the one thing capable of destroying him.
Forty Lullabies came before her. Not one of them lasted.
A Lullaby for the Wicked is a dark Gothic romantasy of enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, a fated soul-bond, and a hero who would burn a kingdom to protect his only light.
This second edition features fully revised prose throughout, polished for clarity and flow.
