Wicked Is My Curse

January 26, 2026

Wicked Realms, Book 5

Three sworn enemies.
A hundred years of bad blood.
One prophecy to end a kingdom.

Assassin. Executioner. Traitor. Lyrae Antares has worn many masks to keep herself alive.

Under Queen Anaria, she finally found her place—Dreadwatch General and the queen’s most trusted blade—until the Royal Seer foresees three lost Fae artifacts—fueling the threat rising from the Shadowlands, where an ancient prince rules from a fortress of mist and bone.

They call him the Dark Prince of the Shadowlands.

And no one leaves his realm alive.

No one…except Ryland Storme—the mercurial career criminal who broke Lyrae’s heart and left a scar that never healed. To cross the Shadowlands, Lyrae must join forces with Ryland and Varian Kronos, the bounty hunter whose treachery sentenced Lyrae’s only sister to the executioner’s blade.

Sent to collect the relics, forced to collaborate with the two men who betrayed her, Lyra discovers the prince isn’t the deadliest threat they face.

And falling in love with the enemies she’d sworn to kill definitely isn’t part of her plan.

Wicked Is My Curse is a standalone Wicked Fae Realms novel, and part of a dark, steamy Fae romantasy series featuring enemies to lovers tension, forced proximity, hot villains you you’ll fall in love with, OTT possessive MCs, and morally gray males.
