Beyond Those Gilded Walls

By: Taylor, Jessica S.

In a kingdom drowning in blood, all Odyssa Duhiva wants is to save her family. Resented by both her brothers, but bound by their mother's dying wish and untold determination, she'll do anything to keep them alive. Even if it means stepping into the cursed Castle Auretras.

Disguised as a servant, Odyssa enters the castle to hunt for the truth behind the deadly plague consuming Veressia-the plague that ravaged her and left her death-marked for all to see.

Instead of the sought-after cure, she finds a man as dangerous as he is captivating--the prince's masked advisor. He's a man who should be her enemy, and every secret he reveals draws her deeper into a web of deceit and desire. His loyalty to the crown is a lie, his bargain to help her is a farce, and yet she keeps reaching for him in the dark.

As their bargain turns far more perilous than she expected, Odyssa must decide whether love can survive in a kingdom built on rot-or if it will be the very thing that leads to her ruin.

BEYOND THOSE GILDED WALLS is a standalone gothic romantasy of dark magic, forbidden longing, and love that burns even as the world decays-perfect for fans of Keri Lake's Anathema and Kaylie Smith's Phantasma.
