Once upon a curse, a kingdom bargained with darkness.
To save a dying queen, a fae lord’s stolen flower healed her—and birthed a princess bound by shadow.
Hidden away by fairies of light, Princess Lynneae grows up among lies and lullabies, until a mortal boy, Rowyn, awakens something forbidden in her heart. But when the sanctuary of spring falls, the darkness she was born from comes to claim her.
Now trapped in Maleus’s realm of ash and desire, Lynneae must resist the pull of her captor’s power, even as Rowyn crosses the Abyss to bring her back.
A tale of obsession, defiance, and doomed devotion, Taming Malice is a darkly seductive reimagining of Sleeping Beauty—where love is a curse, salvation is a sin, and the heart’s desire may be its undoing.
