To Cage a Silver Light. A Dark Fae Romantasy - A. R. Lenahan

Aveline of the Radiant Court has spent her life wrapped in gold, praised for her purity, and taught that the darkness inside her is a sickness. Every collar, cuff, and ritual was called protection.

It was never protection.

It was a cage.

When her mother trades her to the feared Prince of Shadows to seal an ancient blood treaty, Aveline expects a monster, a prison, and a life spent as a political sacrifice. But the moment she crosses into the shadow realm, her enchanted gold shatters, and the truth beneath her skin is finally unleashed.

Her magic is not corruption.

It is power.

Prince Valerius rules the Umbral Hold from a throne of obsidian, his body slowly consumed by a curse that has kept his dying city alive for a century. He married Aveline for her bloodline, intending to use her as the key to stabilize his crumbling wards. But the bride sent to him as a pawn is far more dangerous than anyone predicted.

The shadows know her.

The court fears her.

And Valerius, ruthless, cursed, and impossible to trust, may be the only one willing to teach her how to survive what she is becoming.

As the Radiant Court brands Aveline a traitor and prepares to reclaim the power they spent years stealing from her, she must choose between the family that caged her and the enemy who offers her a crown.
In a realm where bargains cut deeper than blades and truth is the deadliest weapon of all, Aveline must master the shadows or become their sacrifice.

Perfect for readers who love arranged marriage, enemies to lovers, shadow courts, cursed princes, forbidden magic, hidden powers, political betrayal, and dark fae romantasy.
