Devotion of the Ashen Beast

When the treacherous Vranov family forces their timid, illegitimate daughter Otylia to don a heavy veil and marry the Burned Butcher of Drahoslav, she braces for a short, agonizing life. Lord Dragomir is rumored to be a disfigured, flesh-eating monster cursed by a horrific fire. But the moment the cathedral doors lock on their wedding day, the bandages come off. Dragomir is breathtakingly unblemished - and he immediately drops to his knees, offering his fortress, his wealth, and his absolute loyalty to the reincarnated Queen he has waited centuries to serve. With Dragomir relentlessly spoiling her with unlimited resources and political power, Otylia uses her newfound safety to hunt the conspirators who murdered her in her past life. Romance is out of the question; this is a partnership of blood and vengeance. Meanwhile, the Vranovs discover Dragomir’s flawless nature and scheme to swap the brides back, only to find themselves begging on the freezing streets as Otylia coldly walks past them in her regal silks. As Otylia unravels a modern terrorist cult threatening the city and matches it against her historical assassination, she uncovers a chilling truth: they are the exact same immortal enemies. Can she dismantle their empire before they realize the true Sovereign has returned?
