Title: Bound by Blood and Betrayal

For centuries, the kingdoms of Aveloria and Draythar have been locked in a bitter war fueled by magic, vengeance, and ancient betrayal. Seventeen-year-old Seren Valar, a fierce warrior princess with fire magic in her veins, is the last hope for her shattered kingdom. When her father forces her into a perilous mission to capture the enemy's most dangerous general, her life takes an unexpected turn.

General Kael Draven is a legend-a ruthless, brooding commander whose power over shadows strikes fear into even the bravest soldiers. When Seren's ambush goes awry, Kael captures her instead, binding her with a dark blood spell that forces them to share each other's pain-and thoughts.

As war looms on the horizon, Seren and Kael must forge a fragile alliance to unravel a conspiracy that threatens both their worlds. But with every stolen glance and reluctant touch, the line between hatred and desire blurs. And soon, they must face the ultimate question: Can they betray their nations without betraying each other?
