Ruined Kingdom by Sara Snow

In the ethereal balance between life and death, I find myself at a crossroads.

It’s here I encounter Helene, and the truth of my destiny unfolds – I am the chosen mate of Kaine Ulric.
Kaine is a storm of conflicting instincts as his curse nears its end.
As Kaine battles his inner demons, our bond deepens, intertwining our fates more than I ever imagined.
A shocking revelation dawns on me…
My fate is the key to the Dark Fae King’s immortality. My very existence is a beacon of hope and destruction.
To save our world from decay and to free Kaine from his curse, I must embrace a destiny as the sacrificial lamb.
If I falter, the world plunges into an abyss from which there is no return.
But as shadows gather and destiny calls, can we truly be the shield that guards our world from its darkest hour?
