A Lullaby For The Wicked

"He hears every agony of the world. She is the only sound he wants to listen to."

In a kingdom built on screams, silence is the deadliest weapon.

Kaelen Thorne is the monster mothers whisper about to keep their children quiet. As the feared General of the Shadow Realm, he is cursed to hear the collective agonies of an entire kingdom. He lives in a world of endless, bone-shattering noise-until he finds her.

Lyra Vane is a "Lullaby," a rare human whose voice possesses the power to stint the supernatural roar in Kaelen's mind. She is not a prize to be won, but a necessity to be requisitioned. Locked away in a gilded conservatory at the heart of the Citadel of Echoes, she is forced to sing to the General every night at midnight.

He is cold, brutal, and isolated by his own power. She is observant, soulful, and refuses to fear the dark.

But as Lyra's voice brings a terrifying peace to Kaelen's mind, a forbidden soul-bond begins to stir. In the lush, haunting shadows of the Citadel, Lyra discovers that the man known as "The Silence" is hiding a heart once meant for poetry-and Kaelen realizes that the girl he bought to be his cure might just be his undoing.

A Lullaby for the Wicked is a haunting Gothic Romantasy featuring an enemies-to-lovers arc, forced proximity, and a hero who would burn the world to protect his only light.
