To prevent further bloodshed between their warring kingdoms, Alira volunteers for a marriage she expects to be her undoing. Trapped alongside the very enemy she once feared, she must navigate volatile demonic politics, buried secrets, and a fragile peace that could shatter at any moment, all while an unwanted warmth grows between her and the man she was taught to hate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe story continues in Once Written in Gilded Blood, where Alira and Kalel's marriage has secured an uneasy truce between demigods and demons. Living in Devicit as Kalel's wife, Alira works to prove that lasting peace is possible, even as courtly tensions and hidden conspiracies threaten to unravel everything they have built. Beneath the surface of their fragile paradise, the veil protecting the demon kingdom hides unsettling secrets, the gods grow restless, and old enemies have not laid down their swords. As buried sins resurface and outside warlords circle, Alira and Kalel must decide how far they are willing to go to protect the peace, and each other. Together, these two books complete a richly plotted romantasy duology full of political maneuvering, mythological world-building, and a romance that evolves from suspicion into devotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete two-book Cruel Fates Duet in one brand-new paperback set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by New York Times bestselling author K.M.
