When day and night share a single heartbeat, destiny is no longer a choice.

In the harbor city of Lysoria, where trade ships arrive with dawn and shadows linger past midnight, the empire's law is clear: necromancy is forbidden, punishable by fire. But laws do little against hunger, grief, or the pull of a bond written deeper than blood.

Kael, the son of a disgraced family, bears the curse of the dead. He should be nothing more than an exile scraping for survival in alleys and crypts. Instead, his secret threatens the empire itself—a necromancer's gift bound to his pulse, one that the Light Court would burn him alive to erase.

Lucus, sworn knight of light, was raised to hunt exactly what Kael is. Trained with sword and sanctum oath, he believes love is a weakness, desire a danger. Yet every step through Lysoria's crowded markets draws him closer to the very man he is bound to destroy.

Elena never asked for a curse, only for freedom. Marked by a binding sigil on her wrist, she becomes the tether between light and night—between Lucus and Kael, knight and necromancer. She is meant to be their prey, their shield, or their sacrifice. But choice has its own hunger, and bonds born in shadow do not yield to empire or faith.

Together, the three are caught in a curse older than memory and sharper than any blade. In a city of incense smoke, salt-stung air, and whispers of rebellion, their lives entwine: knight against necromancer, woman between them, all three chained to a mark that will not let go.

Enemies must touch to survive. Strangers must share a bed to keep their secret hidden. Desire coils with danger, betrayal with longing. And beneath it all, a forbidden romance flickers—a love not meant for daylight, yet one the night refuses to silence.

The Curse of Light & Night is the first volume of The Light and Night Saga, a dark romantic fantasy for readers who crave:

Enter Lysoria, where every debt is paid in shadows—and every kiss risks a kingdom.
