博客來The one man who wouldn’t hesitate to kill me if he discovered the truth about me... believed he was my mate.
It was a fleeting moment.
A chance encounter that would slip away like so many before it.
Or so Cadence thought.
But when she woke imprisoned in the Unseelie Kingdom, with no memory of how she got there, and no way to escape, she soon realized that fate had other plans for her.
Cadence
My life was simple. I ran the apothecary in my village, cared for my parents, and tried to keep my reckless brother out of trouble.
I hid in the shadows of the unremarkable, blending seamlessly into the background, unnoticed and overlooked.
It was safer that way.
That was, until he walked into the marketplace, with his storm-grey eyes and a smirk that was as sinful as it was dangerous. His presence stole my breath away, and the overwhelming urge to run consumed me.
To him, or from him? I didn’t know.

The moment I laid eyes on her, she became mine.
My Temptress.
My Mate.
The more Cadence tries to fight me, the more desperate I become to conquer her.
It’s a slow descent into madness.
A pull I’m unable to resist, even though it threatens to bring me to the edge of myself. I know it will tear me apart. Yet, I would never escape it, because in the darkness she is mine, and mine alone.
