She was his chance for redemption.
He was her key to freedom.
Prince Ramiel Faundor is a bastard. His entire existence is the second best-kept secret in a kingdom built on blurred lines. But when his dragon-slaying brother dies in battle, Ramiel must stand in his place in the kingdom’s coronation duel. There’s just one problem: thanks to the king’s intimidation, no noble or soldier dares to train him.
Ether Malaphon is a cutthroat elven warrior. Her hatred for humanity is etched into her soul, second only to her resentment for the fairies who killed her parents. Her world unravels when she’s dragged from her village to be sacrificed to a long-dead monarch. But fate intervenes when a certain desperate prince strikes a bargain that might save her life. If he rescues her, she must agree to train him for his duel.
As time runs out and enemies close in, Ramiel and Ether must navigate dark curses, buried secrets, and a history determined to repeat itself. But in a kingdom shaped by betrayal, victory may come at the ultimate cost.

The Egregious Affair of a Cold-Hearted King, the prequel to
The Shadowed Throne Chronicles duology
He saw salvation in her chains.
She saw damnation in his eyes.
Crown Prince Azriel Faundor has learned to live by cruelty. Groomed to inherit both a throne and his father’s ruthlessness, he hides his fractured humanity behind steel and ceremony—until he discovers Nadia, a forgotten elf queen hidden beneath his castle. Her sorrow stirs compassion in him, but soon that fragile pity curdles into something darker.
What begins as mercy festers into obsession, and his version of love becomes her prison.
Trapped by prophecy and his delusion, Nadia learns that the only thing keeping her alive aside from her blessed blood is fear. She dreams of escape, of silence, of death, of freedom—but fate has other designs, and her unwilling union will give rise to the curse that damns them both.
Bound by sin, betrayal, and a love twisted into horror, this is how a king was broken, a curse was seeded, and a queen bore its beginning.
The addictive prequel to The Sinuous Bargain of a Cowardly Prince!

About Kayliani
Hello! I'm Kayliani, a Coeur d'Alene, ID born West Michigan multi-genre author of no spice books!
I started my author journey as a marketing professional in the traditional publishing industry, and continued it once I became a full-time mom. My heart is for fantasy, but I have so many other ideas I'd love to eventually get out there! My debut fantasy, The Sinuous Bargain of a Cowardly Prince, came out in October 2025, the prequel comes out July 2026, and my breakout contemporary romance comes out November 2026 (more on that here!).
While my passions lie mainly in writing and reading, I do have a few offerings for authors as well. These include typesetting, book launch organization, and more. Check them out here.
