SeraWyntors
She was raised in silence.
Hidden. Guarded. Lied to.
For eighteen years, Aerin Hale lived in the mortal world believing her parents died in a car accident, believing the strange gifts that appeared throughout her childhood were meaningless relics. Until the night her powers awakened... and her world shattered.
Dragged through a portal into Astra Vale-a realm ruled by power, forms, and ancient bonds-Aerin learns the truth she was never meant to survive:
She is Aerin Astraea, the lost daughter of the murdered king and queen.
The rightful heir to a throne others will kill to keep.
Bound to her by an unbreakable guardian bond is Tristan Vairon-a ruthless instructor, a living weapon, and a man who treats duty like a sentence. He is sworn to protect her... even if she despises him. Even if it destroys them both.
At the academy meant to shape her into a ruler, Aerin becomes the center of attention she never wanted-especially from the heirs of the current rulers.
Cassian Rhyx. Lucien Vaelor. Elric Veyne.
Predatory. Lethal. Vigilant.
Watching her far too closely.
She doesn't want the crown.
She doesn't trust the world that abandoned her.
And she refuses to be controlled by a bond she never chose.
But power has a way of demanding acknowledgment.
And in Astra Vale, survival isn't about who you are-
It's about what you're willing to become.
Enemies to lovers.
Ancient bonds.
Hidden power.
A throne that demands blood.
Forbidden.
