Duty. Desire. And the devouring dark.
I can’t afford to fail. As the heir to one of the most powerful Moroi Houses in Lunaria, my duty is to strengthen alliances and keep the monsters stalking our world at bay. When my arranged marriage ends disastrously, I return to my family where I’m determined to prove my worth—and rekindle old flames.
But my House is no sanctuary. The blood wards that kept us safe are crumbling and monsters threaten my people. To save us all, I’ll need the help of those who both tempt and scorn me: my silver-tongued childhood crush, my infuriatingly gorgeous rival, the taciturn librarian, and the brooding ranger.
Navigating politics has always been easy but as duties blend seamlessly into desires, I fear I can no longer trust my own judgement. Especially when the monsters are breaking through and it’s clear someone is helping them. If I can’t master my heart and unmask the traitor before the blood wards fail completely, my House and all of Lunaria will fall.
Alex Frost is…actually Maddox Grey. Dun dun duuuuun!
Okay, probably not that dramatic of a reveal since it isn’t exactly a closely guarded secret. The pen name Alex Frost was created to publish the spicier fantasy series that fall under the “Why Choose” genre.
Why Alex Frost? Because Maddox is a freaking nerd. After being trained by local baristas to respond to the name “Alex” instead of Maddox, it seemed like the perfect pen name. Half of it anyway.
Since Maddox already shares their last name with Jean Grey of the X-Men, it seemed fitting to borrow Emma Frost’s last name for their other persona.
If you know, you know. 😏
