When Darkness Seeks Hope

By Sarah C. Davies

Affection is earned, safety is conditional and love is nothing worth hoping for.

Sapphire, a lady of the night, knows the price of living, she pays the cost with her flesh. As The Grey's most coveted Night Jewel, she wears a pretty mask, navigating the strict rules of the brothel and the men desperate enough to pay a visit, with the hope her savings will one day take her far, far away.

Nikolas, a soldier from the kingdom of light, sworn to protect the innocent, is given a simple task from the king: watch over the Night Jewel.

He never expects to fail.

When she dies on his watch, she crosses into the dark kingdom of the afterlife, and guilt pushes him into realms he was never meant to enter to rescue her.

But Sapphire doesn't trust Nikolas's motives, doesn't believe she deserves the light . . . doesn't see how anyone can smile with such ease.

Trapped between two realms, Sapphire must decide, surrender to the darkness forever, or trust the one man willing to risk everything for her.

When Darkness Seeks Hope is a standalone, dual POV, spicy romantasy featuring, "a love starved heroine", "a devoted protector", "Light vs Dark kingdoms", "he waits for her and would destroy realms for her", "she runs before she can be abandoned", "winged MC's", "slow burn, high intimacy", "strong FMC" "darker themes", and more
