Wicked Abyss

Abyssian "Sian" Infernas, the king of hell, was betrayed as a boy by a fey beauty who died before he could take his revenge. Thousands of years later, a curse has turned him into a demonic monster, and the woman who wronged him has been reincarnated.

Sian captures her and drags her down to hell. She is Princess Calliope "Lila" Barbot, and her people have hated and feared Abyssian and his alliance of monsters for ages. Locked in his mystical castle, she is accused of betrayals she cannot remember. She answers with a vow of her own: to bring the beast down for good.

This is a paranormal romance and part of the Immortals After Dark series, built on an enemies-to-lovers dynamic with a fairy-tale frame. Lila turns hell upside down, and the all-powerful Sian has no defence against his feelings for her. She, in turn, warms reluctantly to his cleverness and his gruff vulnerability.

The bond between them is fragile. Truths from the distant past are coming to light, and a curse and the threat of a supernatural war hang over them. The tone mixes dark, castle-bound menace with romance, and the question is whether two sworn adversaries can share a happy ending.
