BEAUTIFUL OBSESSION: The Obsidian Crown

By MISS AYEK

She was sent to kill a monster. She never expected to become his queen.

Calanthe is a lethal shadow magic wielder and the final weapon of a conquered kingdom. Forced into an arranged marriage with the merciless warlord who destroyed her people, she plans to end his reign on their wedding night. She soon discovers a terrifying truth. Her new husband knows all about her assassination plot, and he actively encourages her lethal attempts.

A deadly game of cat and mouse unfolds within the stone walls of his secluded mountain fortress. The warlord is not simply a bloodthirsty tyrant. He is bound by a generational curse, and he needs a queen capable of killing him to break a dark prophecy. His protection is entirely selfish, yet his dark obsession with her might be the only weapon powerful enough to save her people. As they sabotage each other's political empires by day, they share a bed by night. Calanthe must decide if she is the savior of her kingdom or the true monster of this story.
