I’m a healer in a dying world, seeking only to save my sister. Desperate and out of options, I strike a deal with a monster as captivating as he is cruel-a vampire in the shadows with a lust for cruelty. But what if this wicked bargain is more than I can handle?

What if the only way to win against a monster is to become one myself?

What would you sacrifice to save the ones you love? Would you place yourself at the mercy of a vampire who delights in running a daily torture lottery? In the Nightfall Dominion, survival is a gamble, and every choice comes with unimaginable consequences.

This is a dark fantasy-some may even call it a very dark fantasy. If you’re sensitive to intense themes, this may not be the book for you. But by the end of Book 3, you’ll understand why the darkness was necessary and how it all ties together in ways you may not expect.

Imagine a villainous version of Dr. Strange meets Maleficent, and together they have twins named Venom and Twilight. This is the premise of the Shades of Beauty series-an intense enemies-to-lovers, monster romance with forced proximity, and dark magic.

In a world teetering on the edge of ruin, a healer named Elara finds herself trapped between the love for her dying sister and the cruelty of the forbidden Nightfall Dominion. Desperate and out of options, she strikes a deal with a being as captivating as he is cruel-Nikolai Stavros-to save the only family she has left. But this wicked bargain comes with a steep price she never sees coming, and the cost of survival in this apocalyptic realm may be more than her freedom.

In this twisted, vampiric version of Beauty and the Beast, a new tale will be told-one of love, sacrifice, and the resilience of humanity. Within the heart of the eternal twilight, Elara must decide how far she’ll go to save her loved ones, and in the depths of despair, cruelty will teach her just how many cracks a body can endure before it crumbles. Dare to be brave and step into this gripping series?
