Captured By the Void King by Eden Ember
He is the Warlord of the Void. She is the flower that blooms in the dark. Together, they will burn the galaxy down.
Ksara has spent her entire life as her mother’s perfect daughter, a genetically engineered bio-kinetic architect, designed to terraform worlds and displayed like a prize orchid at Apex society’s glittering balls. But when the terrifying Lord Haid steals her from a diplomatic party and drags her to his dying fortress in the Tartarus Belt, she discovers that her touch doesn’t just grow flowers, it can resurrect entire ecosystems from barren stone.
Haid needs a miracle. His people are suffocating in the dark, slowly dying while the corrupt Apex Council watches with indifference. What he finds is a woman who was never meant to be controlled, whose power eclipses anything the galaxy has seen, and whose stubborn compassion begins to crack open the frozen wasteland of his heart.
From hate to hunger, from captivity to claiming, their connection defies the void itself. But when Ksara’s mother comes to reclaim her “property,” Haid will tear reality apart to bring her home, even if it means awakening ancient forces that have slumbered between the stars for millennia.
A darker, steamier sci-fi reimagining of Hades and Persephone, where fated mates collide, bioluminescent magic blooms in the shadows, and love becomes the most dangerous force in the universe.
