Torn between her controlling brothers, a forced betrothal, and a dangerous alliance with a mysterious enemy, Alara must decide how far she's willing to go to reclaim her destiny.

💔 Your bracelet chooses who you love. But what happens when your heart chooses rebellion instead? In Alara's world, staying young means finding a match-and staying matched. If she doesn't bond with someone by her twenty-sixth birthday, her body will betray her, aging her rapidly until she fades into the forgotten class called the Fleeting. Her wealthy parents have arranged a match to save her, but there's just one problem: it's her toxic ex. The same one who left her emotionally-and physically-scarred. Now she has one year to find her Heart's Echo, the soulmate born just for her, or surrender to a future she never wanted. When her bracelet flickers gold at the elite matchmaking festival, it confirms what she's always believed: her Echo is real... and dangerously close. What she doesn't know is that her Echo is Korven, a brooding, high-ranking rebel with secrets that could tear her world apart. Matching with her means giving in to the very system he's trying to burn to the ground. He's the one person she's been searching for. She's the one person he can never have. 🔥 A slow-burn dystopian romance full of secrets, soulmates, rebellion-and one impossible choice.
