Once Written In Gilded Blood (Cruel Fates Duet, #2)

Synopsis:

The war was supposed to end with their wedding.

Alira made her choice. She married the Blood Knight to end the war that had ravaged their kingdoms only to fall irrevocably in love with her once-sworn enemy. Now, living in Devicit as his wife, she is determined to prove that peace between demigods and demons is possible.

But something beneath the surface of their paradise feels wrong.

The veil protecting the demon kingdom shimmers with secrets. The gods are restless. And beyond the veil, old enemies have not laid down their swords.

Kalel would burn the world down to protect his bride, but the past he buried in blood refuses to stay silent. As suspicion creeps into their marriage and the threat of war closes in on Devicit, Alira and Kalel find themselves caught between devotion and doubt―between the kingdoms they were born to defend and the love they chose for themselves.

Together, they must confront the truths that could shatter everything they've built. Because peace is never freely given. And the gods are not finished with them yet.
