Melody of Midnight

Hades and Persephone meets Snow White in this gothic-inspired dark fantasy romance.
When the evil queen kills her father and takes over the kingdom, Princess Celeste flees for her life.
There's only one place to hide, the forbidden forest where those who walk its hidden paths are stolen. . .
Celeste loses her way in the wood, but does not expect the half-man, half-monster who offers her shelter in exchange for a vow.
She must help him with his quest and he will protect her from the evil queen.
Unaware he's a treacherous immortal known as the King of Hearts, Celeste agrees to the deal, binding herself to the king and his curse.
As Celeste fulfills her vow she's exposed to a dangerous world of magic, mystery, and music, including a castle full of gnomes, an underground mine, and portals guarded by unsavory creatures.
Worst of all, a demon holds the fate of the king, forcing her to make a choice. Will she choose love or freedom?
