He can make her body sing. He cannot make her speak. Zaria stitched her lips in gold to cage a secret that could set kingdoms on fire-and the Inquisitor sent to break her silence discovers he's the only thing that makes it tremble.

In a sanctum of chains and candlelight, Zaria kneels with a fallen power coiled beneath her tongue and a past steeped in oaths. Daemon-the empire's most feared interrogator-reads her like a spell: the witch who made her own mouth a reliquary, the weapon who refuses to be wielded. Every touch becomes ritual, every breath a test, as devotion tangles with defiance and desire is forged into command. If the seal inside her fractures, the world burns. If she yields, she becomes the blade that destroys her. Caught between a hunter who worships and a hunger older than gods, Zaria must master what lives within-or be unmade by it.

Dark, elegant, and feral, Golden Lips Sealed is a paranormal romantasy of power exchange and prophecy, enemies-to-obsession heat, and a heroine who learns that silence can be a weapon-and surrender, a crown. For readers of morally gray priests and witchy heroines, ritual magic, and sumptuous, high-steam stakes where love is a binding... and a command.
