About Dark Artificer: A Forbidden Fantasy Romance (The Princesses of Ruin)

He needs her to exact his dark justice. She needs him to destroy a corrupted kingdom. Royal secrets trade high on the black market, and being a quiet princess allows Alyse to hear many things in the palace. What she does with those pilfered confidences would have her mother fuming, but Alyse’s altruism is the only bright spot in her bleak existence outside the pages of her fantasy books. Yet that spot is being swallowed up by a depraved shadow that haunts her steps: her wretched fiancé. Growing up a slave, pain and suffering were the backdrop of Kazimir’s childhood. Even after escaping, that darkness followed him. With his scribe’s training and his relentless determination, he’s made it into the good graces of the royal palace for one purpose: to track down every single person involved in enslaving him, and bathe in their blood. When a fateful night has Kazimir and Alyse crossing blades, they’re set on a cruel path that leads to the destruction of their souls—and their restraint. As Kazimir trains Alyse to become the weapon he needs for his revenge, they’re pulled deeper under each other’s spells. Will Alyse succumb to the darkness and stand beside Kazimir when the heads begin to topple, or will she use her deadly new skills to bring her wicked fiancé to his knees and set the kingdoms on a path to war? For fans of Rebecca Yarros, Carissa Broadbent, and Sarah J Maas. The Princesses of Ruin is a four-part, standalone series set in a magic-based world with Victorian era vibes, possessive men, powerful princesses, and the demons they have to fight to survive in their grim kingdom.
