The Godkissed Bride

The Godkissed Bride by Evie Marceau is a spicy romantasy series beginning with White Horse Black Nights , set in the kingdom of Astagnon where rare individuals blessed by sleeping fae gods possess unique magic like animal communication. Sabine Darrow, imprisoned in a convent for a decade and abused for her godkissed gift, is sold as a bride to villainous high lord Rian to recreate a scandalous public horseback scene, fearing one cage for another. Her hopes of escape hinge on her gruff, beastly guard Basten "Wolf" Bowborn—a huntsman with heightened senses torn between duty, obsession, and forbidden desire—amid political schemes, awakening ancient fae threats, betrayals, and a trek through dangerous lands that ignites enemies-to-lovers tension. As Sabine navigates power games, hidden powers, and looming war with rival kingdoms coveting godkissed brides, the series blends slow-burn passion, court intrigue, and epic stakes across books like Cold Stars Midnight Glow .​
