The Ashes & the Star-Cursed King by Carissa Broadbent

The Ashes & the Star-Cursed King by Carissa BroadbentBlurb: Love is a sacrifice at the altar of power. In the wake of the Kejari, everything Oraya once thought to be true has been destroyed. A prisoner in her own kingdom, grieving the only family she ever had, and reeling from a gutting betrayal, she no longer even knows the truth of her own blood. Shes left only with one certainty: she cannot trust anyone, least of all Raihn. The House of Night, too, is surrounded by enemies. Raihns own nobles are none

and Scarlett thinks her dreams of seeing Caraval—the faraway

Chosen before birth to uphold the desperate deal her ancestor struck to save his people

and hiding secrets that will turn her world upside down

they are told

and an indestructible love

And if I want something

It is not a literal retelling and not fantasy

Then I tell him to forget it ever happened

She has a wicked plan to keep her deadly new husband off-balance

and unforgiving orders

and fear will keep her safe
