Dynasty of the Wicked by Maham Fatemi

A wicked princess. A cursed heir. A marriage bound in blood.

When Princess Zhi Ruo is ripped from her father’s vicious court and imprisoned by the enemy kingdom, she thinks her empire will rescue her–but she’s wrong.
Abandoned by her father and his men, she’s left to rot in enemy territory. Her last hope comes from Feng Mian, the cursed, blind heir imprisoned alongside her.
Feng Mian offers her a choice: a marriage bond that will allow her to use his dark magic to escape, or death. But binding herself to the beautiful, ruthless heir has its own consequences: his magic is corroding his body and mind, and it’s only a matter of time before it consumes him–and her–completely.
A romance between the two can never happen, but Zhi Ruo can’t resist his deadly charm or the lethal darkness within him that beckons her own.
As war ravages the empire, a terrifying foe rises from the shadows, hellbent on destroying the royal family. If Zhi Ruo hopes to survive, she’ll have to learn to wield the cursed magic, even if it means falling into the darkness festering within herself.
Dynasty of the Wicked is the first in The Wicked Princess duology and is perfect for fans of romantic fantasy, wickedly beautiful villains, and delicious tension.
