A forbidden bond of fire, ice, and the shadows that demand to be claimed
- Fantasy
- Romance
- Erotica
Some bonds refuse to stay buried—no matter the cost. In the southern kingdom of Highhaven, Princess Veyra Vesryn is the realm’s deadliest weapon: a warrior who bends fire and shadow to her will. Loyalty, bloodline purity, and ironclad tradition rule her world. When northern Princess Sylvaine Frostveil arrives to seal a fragile trade treaty, an ancient mating bond ignites between them—one Highhaven’s council has sworn never to allow with a foreigner. The secret is supposed to stay hidden. Veyra’s brother Victor will do anything to break the bond and preserve their bloodline. But proximity only sharpens the pull, and the magic inside Veyra begins to fray toward dangerous madness. Sylvaine, a calculating ice mage, senses the southern court is lying—and underestimates how fiercely desire can cut through distrust. As political traps close in and a northern conspiracy threatens both kingdoms, Veyra must choose: remain Highhaven’s obedient sword, or burn the old laws to ash and claim the mate who could destroy everything she was raised to protect.
