Death Cannot Sleep

"Without you, I cannot sleep." Amarion Amari was a poor countess from the desolate North who wielded a sword every day to survive—until she receives a proposal from Duke Mort, the empire's greatest noble known as the "Walking Death." Marry him, he promises, and he will grant her everything. Accepting the irresistible offer, Amarion discovers the truth on their first night: the Duke suffers from a mysterious curse that prevents him from sleeping, and only her presence—and her blade—can keep him safe. As she stands guard with sword in hand while the terrifyingly beautiful man sleeps, Amarion finally understands why he needed a warrior bride. "You are like a miracle to me." As the perilous nights continue, the Duke falls ever deeper in love, and Amarion finds her own heart opening to the man the world fears as Death itself... Two worldviews collide in this tale of steel and shadows. The ultimate action-growth romance begins now.
