Heartbound

The Thornwood Archives have burned for three days when Kael finds her—a woman who should be dead, standing untouched among wards designed to incinerate. Elowen carries no explanation, only a stolen relic pulsing with forbidden magic and a debt she refuses to name. Bound together by a curse neither can break alone, Kael and Elowen are forced into an uneasy alliance across the treacherous politics of the Starfall Court. He is sworn to the throne that wants her dead. She holds a secret that could shatter the foundations of fae power. And with every day the bond between them deepens, the line between duty and desire grows thinner. As ancient enemies stir beyond the court's borders and betrayal lurks behind every silver smile, Kael must choose: honor the oath that defines him, or protect the woman whose magic is slowly rewriting his soul. A sweeping enemies-to-lovers romantasy of forbidden bonds, deadly court intrigue, and a love that could either save a kingdom or burn it to ash.
