Radiance

by Grace Draven

Our rating

Spice 2/5 Darkness 2/5

Spice: mild. Darkness: some dark moments.

Ildiko is a human noblewoman married off to Brishen, a Kai prince whose people find humans just as ugly as humans find them. They become friends first. Kind, funny and grown-up, a monster-adjacent arranged marriage with zero cruelty between the leads.
