The Bone Library Accord.: A Dark Romantasy of Death, Desire, and the Library of Souls

By Magdi Abdullah Ahmed

Every century, Death takes a bride. This time, he chose the wrong sister.

When the Bone King refuses the crown's chosen princess and claims Seren Vale-a librarian who burns heartbreaks to keep her city from drowning in grief-she discovers a secret that could unmake a kingdom. The Library of Dead Hearts doesn't just store sorrow. It keeps the souls Death claims...including the man Seren once loved.

Bound to an engagement that could seal (or shatter) the border between life and the Veil, Seren bargains on dangerous ground: true names, living books, and a vow-heart that beats like a second pulse against her ribs. Lord Mourn is inevitable and exhausted, a monarch who hates the mercy he can't stop paying. Seren is order and ash and stubborn tenderness. Together, they must choose a new law-or watch their city tear itself apart.

Equals in different armor. Respect → fascination → trust → devotion.

Perfect for readers of dark, gothic fantasy romance who want:

- Consent in plain language and on-page aftercare
- A sentient library, bone crowns, and echoing candlelit halls
- High stakes divine politics with blood-cost magic
- A slow-burn that changes the battlefield every time it heats up

Tropes & Tones: forbidden union - reluctant royal "engagement" - true-name bargains - found duty, chosen love - grief alchemy - trial in a bone court - lovers who rewrite the rules rather than break each other.

Series: Book One of Atlas of the Veil. A complete romance arc with a door left open to bigger gods, older laws, and future accords.

Tagline: Love rewrites what survives.
