A charismatic young necromancer decides the safest path to power is seducing a dark lord, not becoming one, in this witty and endearingly macabre queer paranormal rom-com debut by Bridgette Way.
Kieran Prentiss, necromancer prodigy and New York’s “Most Darling Devil,” has a secret: while he might love death, he has no interest in killing. Though the world expects him to rise as the next great villain, Kieran has no interest in ruling over anyone.
After an encounter with Dark Lord du Maurier—known to his fans as LdM, New York’s infamously fearsome and impossibly attractive ruler—an idea strikes: why become a dark lord when he can seduce one instead? Under the guise of managing LdM’s PR for the upcoming Dark Leader of the Northeast competition, Kieran enters LdM’s orbit with one goal: getting LdM to put a ring on it.
But when the competition goes awry, it becomes clear someone wants to oust LdM. While Kieran is busy avoiding an assassin’s crosshairs and trying to secure his future as a trophy husband, the line between scheming and true feelings blurs. But how can Kieran ever hope to have a real relationship with a man he’s been lying to since day one?
