Book 1 of The Crimson Pact trilogy. In the kingdom of Ravencia, witches are feared, hunted, and bound by iron laws. Elowen Veyne, a powerful yet outlawed witch with an affinity for blood magic, has spent her life hiding in the shadows, using her magic sparingly and only to survive. But when she is captured by the Iron Wardens, the elite enforcers of the king, she expects only one fate-execution. Instead, she is given an impossible choice: rot in the dungeons or help break a curse that has plagued the king's most feared warden, Commander Dorian Voss. Dorian was once a ruthless witch hunter, but a battle against an ancient sorceress left him cursed--his soul slowly turning to stone with every spell he resisted casting. The irony? He now possesses the very magic he once despised, and only Elowen's blood magic can slow the curse's spread. Bound by an uneasy alliance, Elowen and Dorian embark on a dangerous journey to uncover the origins of his curse. But the deeper they delve into long-forbidden magic, the more entangled their fates become. As their hatred gives way to something far more dangerous-desire-Elowen realizes that breaking Dorian's curse might come at the cost of her own soul. When war ignites between witches and the crown, Elowen and Dorian must decide where they stand. Will they defy fate and forge a new path together, or will their love be the very thing that dooms them both?All Rights Reserved
