A princess in disguise. A crown she never wanted. Two men who could ruin her. In a world rebuilt from the bones of a fallen age, Princess Nadia hides behind armor and duty to escape the marriage that would seal her fate. The heir who loves her would crown her. The shapeshifter who guards her would burn for her. But when lies turn to blood and loyalty burns to ash, Nadia must decide whether love is salvation—or the spark that will set the world on fire. Darkly romantic and dangerously addictive, Artificial Selection is the first book in the Daemon Progeny Trilogy—a sweeping tale of power, betrayal, and the ruinous cost of desire.
