"I don’t need love. I need submission."
That was the law of King Sebastian, the cursed monarch of Eldranith. Feared across the empire, Sebastian is known as the Crimson King—a man who conquers kingdoms by day and collects women by night.
But what the world doesn't know is that he bears a dark curse—one that demands he constantly feed on raw desire or be devoured from within. To survive, he built a royal harem... but no woman has ever touched his heart.
Until Serenya, a sharp-tongued noble spy disguised as a pleasure servant, slips into his bedchamber with a dagger aimed for his throat—and ends up bound by more than chains.
Now, as political tensions rise and Sebastian’s cursed hunger grows uncontrollable, he finds himself surrounded by women who want him, hate him, or both. Each one is drawn into his orbit—whether out of ambition, revenge, or raw lust—and each will have to decide:
Will they destroy the King? Or become part of his ruinous, sinful harem?
