Appetite of the Ashen Prince

Transmigrated into the grimdark novel Requiem for the Eclipse, Sabina Vladescu wakes up at a rain-drenched funeral with a death sentence hanging over her head. She has just been betrothed to Prince Gavril - the starved, illegitimate outcast destined to plunge the kingdom into eternal night. Worse, her family orchestrated the execution of his mother, making them bitter blood rivals. Knowing Gavril’s future massacre is driven by the agonizing hunger and isolation he currently suffers, the world-weary and sarcastic Sabina decides on a highly pragmatic survival strategy: aggressive domesticity. Armed with heavy iron pots and heavily spiced meats, she storms his haunted, freezing tower every night. She ignores his venomous glares and forces hot meals down his throat, wrapping him in furs whether he likes it or not. But Sabina’s plan works a little too well. The terrifying future tyrant quickly realizes that coughing pathetically and pretending to be terrified of the dark earns him warm hugs and extra servings of honeyed duck. As the eerie court plots their demise, when did this feral, brooding rival turn into a clingy shadow who refuses to let her leave his side?
