A cursed realm. A dangerous fae. A touch that could destroy them both. Dragged into a hidden world of shadows and seduction, Ember never asked to be bound to a ruthless fae prince-especially one with silver eyes and a tongue made for war. His magic pulses through her veins. His power coils around her like a tether. And the worst part? She craves every stolen moment. Kael is sworn to protect the Veil Realms from the storm tearing its magic apart-but the flame-haired mortal girl he's bound to might be the end of him. She's wild, defiant, and entirely too tempting for a man who's spent centuries wrapped in shadow. But fate doesn't care about consent-and neither do ancient magic bonds. Together, they must navigate curses, court politics, and the aching pull of a connection they never wanted. Because in the Veil Realms, power is pain... And pleasure might be the deadliest weapon of all.
